Craig Fairbaugh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Craig Fairbaugh (born 1978) is the rhythm guitarist and back-up vocalist for the punk rock band +44 (pronounced "plus forty four"). The band is made up of Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker formerly of the popular pop punk band blink-182, and Shane Gallagher of The Nervous Return.
[edit] Early life
Fairbaugh grew up in the Bay Area and began playing guitar at the age of 15. He later formed and fronted his own three-piece band called Vintage 46, although the band never really played more than local house parties and small hometown gigs. Along the way, Fairbaugh handed off a demo CD to Rancid’s Tim Armstrong who vowed to release one of the band’s albums on a new label he was starting up. Unfortunately that never materialized. He later moved to Los Angeles to try pursue his musical interests.
[edit] Career
He also currently sings and plays guitar for the Hellcat Records punk rock band The Mercy Killers. He was made an official member for +44 after their former guitarist Carol Heller had left the band while the group was recording their debut album, When Your Heart Stops Beating, which was released on November 14th 2006. Fairbaugh has also played for Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards, Transplants and The Forgotten in the past.
