Biography

Fair is an alternative Christian rock band from the Pacific Northwest fronted by Aaron Sprinkle, who has assembled an impressive résumé as a producer, engineer, songwriter, and musician. Sprinkle first found an audience for his music as a member of Poor Old Lu, an aggressive but melodic rock band with strong spiritual lyrics; they released their first album, Star Studded Super Step, in 1992 and put out five albums before breaking up in 1998, with a one-off reunion album appearing in 2002. Sprinkle also was briefly a member of Rose Blossom Punch from 1997 to 1999, and released a handful of solo albums starting with Moontraveller in 1999. But from the mid-'90s onward Sprinkle's most consistent work was as a producer and engineer, working on albums for MxPx, Pedro the Lion, Kutless, Jeremy Camp, Eisley, Hawk Nelson, Demon Hunter, and many others. In 2005, Sprinkle chose to form a new band as a vehicle for his songs, and he teamed up three longtime friends -- former Poor Old Lu bassist Nick Barber, drummer Joey Sanchez (who has worked with Jeremy Camp's band), and guitarist Erick Newbill (who also runs a recording studio in Greenwood, WA). Taking the name Fair, the new group released their debut album, The Best Worst-Case Scenario, in mid-2006, which showcased the band's moody but engaging melodies and epic-scale guitar sound. The album received enthusiastic reviews, and the band planned to record a follow-up in 2007. ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide

Fair is an alternative rock band that features musician and producer Aaron Sprinkle; they are currently signed to Tooth & Nail Records. Sprinkle was formerly the guitarist for Christian alternative band Poor Old Lu in the 1990s. After Poor Old Lu broke up, Sprinkle released several albums, both as a solo artist and as the lead-singer of the band Rose Blossom Punch. He became better known, however, for his work producing albums for bands such as Anberlin, Demon Hunter, Kutless, and Emery. In 2005, Fair was created out of the members of Sprinkle's touring band – Sprinkle, fellow Poor Old Lu alum Nick Barber, Erick Newbill, and Joey Sanchez.

The band recorded their first album throughout the fall and winter of 2005/2006 in Seattle. The album, The Best Worst-Case Scenario, was released on June 6, 2006 to virtually universal rave reviews. Fair supported the release of the album by touring with Eisley in the spring of 2006.
