Get ready for an unforgettable night on Saturday, August 17th as the incredible band ToBe Fare takes the stage!
Experience the raw emotion and authenticity of their music, from a whisper to a scream, as they share their passion, pain, and promise through every note.
Passion, Pain and Promise... From a Whisper to a Scream... Tobe Fare holds nothing back and has been lauded for its emotion and authenticity. Originally a spinoff of Alt-Western Pioneers: Ice House Road, Tobe Fare began as the acoustic duo BiG! featuring the guitar mayhem and broken vocals of Charlottesville music veteran Gary Hawthorne and “Mr. Positive” JR Stoffel on Cajon, percussion and vocals. However, amidst recording their debut acoustic album, they realized that they wanted to “plug in” and really get loud, so they brought in longtime friend Bryan McKenzie on bass to jump start a new Electric 21st Century Alt-Rock machine.
In August 2019, Tobe Fare (as BiG!) released small on Ranch Hand Records: A collection of songs about the whirlwinds of life, love and time -- to rave reviews. In March of 2021, they released their first video single, People – recorded during the pandemic under strict pandemic guidelines. In the Spring of 2022 TBF recorded 2 Songs: (Transparent and Love Will Find a Way.) All of these are available on www.tobefare.com. They are also available on Spotify and all of the other streaming services.
With some newly healed vocals, new songs and a positive push to the future, Gary Hawthorne and ToBe Fare are ready to hit the studio with award winning producer Kevin McNoldy (Parachute, Seven Mary Three, Robin and Linda Williams) for a new full-length album and entertain as many live audiences as possible on a Summer/Fall tour.
