The FBR returns to their home base, Fox & Locke, Saturday night for a special evening of music. The bluesy rock sextet fronted by soulful vocalist Malarie McConaha is teaming with Grammy-winning producer Peer Munck to record the show for release as a live album in the spring. Munck is renowned for producing instant live recordings for an array of artists, including The Black Crowes, George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic, The Allman Brothers Band, Allen Toussaint, Gov’t Mule and Cowboy Mouth. “There’s going to be some storytelling, there’re going to be some new covers and a lot of new FBR songs,” McConaha tells the Scene. The new material will include songs from the follow-up to their acclaimed debut album Ghost, due to be released by the end of this year, while the covers will include recordings by Nirvana, The Cranberries, Fleetwood Mac and Charles Bradley. In addition to McConaha on lead vocals and guitar, The FBR features co-founder and principal songwriter Tim Hunter on guitar, harmonica and backing vocals; Evan Opitz on lead guitar and backing vocals; CJ Singer on bass, Brandon Mordecai on keys and Jack Singer on drums.
