Join us for another magical Pro-Showcase with Kimrea and The Fargo Brothers with Michael Lester Adams, Russ Whitehead, Joost Vonk and Mojo Larry Platz!
In 1979, the Fargo Brothers came together for the first time and they’ve been performing ever since. “As far as us staying together, that’s a miracle,” said songwriter and guitarist, Michael Adams. “Either something like that happens for a group, or it doesn’t.” The Fargo Brothers’ stage presence is also something that keeps them in high demand. They regularly pull out long, gray, Dumbledore-style beards for a ZZ Top medley. They’re always running around venues, jumping on tables and causing a riot. Sometimes, if the King is speaking to him, Adams dons an Elvis wig and sunglasses. “We really place entertainment at a big premium,” Adams said. “We aren’t afraid to wax comical at certain points but we also have a very serious pride in our music. There’s a balance there.” Although they’ve been together for nearly 40 years, they don’t plan to quit any time soon. Like wine, their music only gets better with age, especially since they’re not constantly rotating players in and out. They’ll play until the day they die, Adams said, unless music is inexplicably outlawed. “You can hear it,” said Adams. “You can hear a sound like that that’s been molded over time.”
Kimrea’s Sunday Pro-Showcase features talented unsung working musicians who form the backbone of the local music scene. Performers are established Bay Area session players, sidemen and undiscovered talent. Join us for a musically uplifting evening in our intimate Tivoli Room.
