Live Music at Umbra: George Faber

Umbra Minneapolis 708 Third Street South, Minneapolis

George Faber is a veteran Minneapolis singer/songwriter/performer with a colorful 30-year music career. Born in Champaign, IL, Faber became deeply rooted in the Chicago blues scene.  He spent years touring the country performing in blues houses like Kingston Mines and Wise Fools Pub, playing with legends like Muddy Waters and Lowell George.  From there, the evolution of styles began; from a controversial glam rock front man performing to rock festival crowds and an early MTV video release – to returning to R&B blues roots and packing rooms from Chicago to New Orleans. His recent recordings have also been highly acclaimed in the audiophile community nationally and internationally.   Umbra hosts complimentary live music every single Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.

Veranda Lounge MN
