J.B. FAIRES

Musician | Educator

JB Faires is a graduate of the University of Illinois' doctor of musical arts (DMA) in jazz studies program. As a musician, educator, sound engineer, and booking agent covering a wide range of musical styles and eras, JB is a proven provider of quality entertainment.

REVEREND ROBERT & The
RHUMBA BUMS

Afro-Caribbean Blues

Reverend Robert and The Rhumba Bums play songs from a wide variety of sources linking Louisiana to Trinidad and Brazil. While you may hear a country and western song played with a second-line groove, a classic mento or reggae song, or a blues played over an Afro-Cuban son montuno, the results are easily relatable and danceable!

FAIRLY ODD DUO

Acoustic Americana | Pop

Drawing from singer-songwriters, both obscure and famous, The Fairly Odd Duo plays originals as well as covers from every decade of American Popular music.

The GOOD DINOSAURS

Low-Fi Blues Rock

Inspired by album oriented rock, alternative music, and B-sides, The Good Dinosaurs bring a high energy performance to lo-fi blues rock.

HUCK FATE

Rock Power Trio

No nonsense rock with a rural attitude and visceral honesty that is delivered with an intensity similar to an onslaught of beefy punches to the gut. Bluesy originals with undertones of Metal, Funk, and African jams served in-your-face style.

MORE BANDS!

Check out my variety of other projects!

There is a vast network of great musicians in Illinois and the surrounding area, and I am fortunate enough to get to make music with some of them.
