Since 2015, multi-Grammy Award winner Tim O’Brien and his wife Jan Fabricius have performed together nationally and internationally either as a duo or as part of the Tim O’Brien Band. In a duet setting with a guitar, a mandolin, and their two voices, they bring an intimate and warm acoustic music roots repertoire that is at once original and traditional, or classic Americana.
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tim was born in Wheeling WV in 1954. He grew up singing and playing guitar in church and in school. After watching Doc Watson on TV, Tim became a lifelong devotee of old time and bluegrass music. Co-founder of Colorado’s Hot Rize, he toured the world with that band from 1978 until he started his solo career in 1990.
Tim’s songs have been covered by Kathy Mattea, Garth Brooks, and the Dixie Chicks; his collaborators onstage and in the recording studio include Darrell Scott, Dirk Powell, Mark Knopfler, and Sturgill Simpson.
Awarded Grammy’s in both the Folk and Bluegrass categories, Tim is a member of the West Virginia and the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.
Jan Fabricius grew up in WaKeeney, Ks. and sang from an early age in church and school, taking up clarinet, then mandolin. A registered nurse and mother of two, she kept her hand in music through local jams and regional bluegrass festivals while raising her family. Jan’s duet with Tim started informally around their home as he wrote or learned new songs. Soon she found herself singing and playing mandolin in the studio and onstage.
Their 2021 release “He Walked On,” and his upcoming release “Cup of Sugar” feature original songs cowritten by the couple.
Tim and Jan live in Nashville, Tennessee.
