Since July of 2004, Fairbanks has been offering show-goers an alternative, and the artistic goal has been humble: to deliver something that people could relate to and remember. A far cry from much of today's prefabrication, Fairbanks' dynamic and gracefully polymorphic style exhibits a diversity of sound that can truly be appreciated from track to track. Whether lilting and ambient, or penetrating and metronomic, Fairbanks fearlessly and effortlessly treads the spectrum for a widespread audience. Informing this open style is a far-ranging myriad of musical influences, including The Beatles, Miles Davis, Green Day, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Pink Floyd, and the Jackson Five.

Despite their divorce, Fairbanks and Crawford maintained a good relationship. In his later years, Fairbanks was quick to defend Crawford when her adopted daughter Christina Crawford, published Mommie Dearest, a scathing biography of Crawford's personal life. He firmly stated, "The Joan Crawford that I've heard about in Mommie Dearest is not the Joan Crawford I knew back when."
