Named to honor an enduring Leonard Cohen classic song, “The FBR— comprised of Tim Hunter and Malarie McConaha—purveys American roots music traditions with poetic storytelling and multi-genre instrumental approaches. The two met at an open mic night at Puckett’s (now Fox and Locke) the local watering hole in Leiper’s Fork outside of Nashville.” What initially began as an acoustic project between the pair eventually grew to include a full band bringing additional guitar, percussion, bass, and keys to the table.
