The Fair Ends Duo

The Fair Ends Duo at Joly's Live Music Bar

The Fair Ends—for over a decade, that’s meant country, folk, and blues covers at their finest!

The four “Men in Black” caught the Johnny Cash “Boom-Chicka-Boom” bug back in 2013 and haven’t found a more effective cure than to keep going.

They’ve developed their very own sound, bringing old classics and even older musical hidden gems to life for today’s audience.

Andreas “The Shoulder” Wendland, on lead guitar, treats the crowd to intricate riffs and solos, while Felix “El Gato” Berger, on drums, provides just the right dose of groove. On bass, Matthias “La Forge” Nitz rounds out every song with his sound like no other, while the band’s namesake and singer, Ferenc “Fair Ends,” breathes life into Cash’s old songs with his resonant voice.

The four musicians from Leipzig don’t shy away from crossover either: Chris Isaak is just as much a part of their setlist as Tito & Tarantulla, Urge Overkill, and The Crash Test Dummies.

If you’ve always wanted to know what Johnny Cash, Jace Everett, Jeff Bridges, John Lee Hooker, and Chuck Berry have in common, you definitely shouldn’t miss a performance by The Fair Ends. The motto is: “Show up, or you’ll cry!”
