Fairview Avenue

BACK

Fairview Avenue features three distinct lead singers, harmonies from two-part to four-part, passionate instrumental picking, original tunes from almost every member's pen, and a professional and fun stage presence. They also play some non-bluegrass songs in decidedly bluegrass fashion with tons of enthusiasm and energy.

The band features Scott Hopkins on banjo and harmony vocals.  Scott writes for the group and keeps the band running like a well-oiled 5-stringed instrument.  Liz Hopkins plays the upright bass and sings beautiful lead vocals.  Her harmony vocals always blend with the other male members of the band, and she just started writing songs for the group.  Tony Califano plays the mandolin and is the band's primary lead singer and song writer.  Tony's vocal style and musical approach bring an edge that are different but complimentary to the styles of the other band members.  Brig McCutcheon plays rhythm guitar, sings lead and harmony vocals and lives around the corner from Scott and Liz.  Joe Gumpper is a classically trained violinist and jazz fiddler and uses his great tone and intonation while bringing his own unique style to the group.
