Miche Fambro started out as a drummer. When he moved to the front of the stage, that's when it became obvious that the singer-songwriter had the gift of a beautiful voice and the chops of a guitar maestro. Fambro returned to this region several years ago after more than a decade of touring as a soloist with his interests veering toward jazz. That genre must feel like another dimension considering Fambro's past as front man of 80's New Wave group Miche and the Anglos, but it has actually been a smooth transition. Fambro's spin on acoustic standards, along with an expansive catalogue of originals, continues to cement his reputation as a significant figure among Rochester-area musicians. Faixa shares this bill.

Miche Fambro performs Saturday, August 3, 9 p.m. at Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. $3-$5. lovincup.com.
