The Band Fairview strives to make powerful, thoughtful, and interesting music that transcends genre. They stir-fry elements of jazz, punk, progressive, doo-wop, folk and world music and serve it up with melody and emotion over a bed of alternative rock influence. Through their alternative fusion style, they are able to make music that is innovative, intricate, yet still very catchy and enjoyable. As avid fans of music in all its shapes and forms, Andrew Moore, Jeremy Pugh, and Julius Woods began refining their interests long before they met. Classically trained and highly technical, Andrew attributes his skill and style to the influences of Mike Patton, Rush, The Mars Volta, Led Zeppelin, and Terry Bozzio. Very talented and versatile, Jeremy has played drums, saxophone, flute, piano and guitar for various jazz and rock bands, all before switching to bass for Fairview. His influences range from the contemporary--Carter Beauford, Dispatch, Snow Patrol, Ben Folds, Carbon Leaf, to the classic--Bob Seger, America, Bad Company, Journey. Julius has always been interested in music as an emotional poetic medium. His stylistic influences include A Perfect Circle, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, The Cure, Victor Lopez, Alice in Chains and the Beatles. What came to tie these men together was their passion for the art. They experienced firsthand how a beautiful song can turn hardship into inspiration. They knew personally the overwhelming satisfaction that came from hearing just the right music at just the right time. Recognizing their own passion and talents, they came together with one goal in mind: to share them with the world--to create those moments of joy, empathy, wonder, and satisfaction in others.
