Carl Evans Jr., keyboardist for the popular San Diego band Fattburger, passed away last Thursday (April 10th) from complications of diabetes. Last December, Evans underwent surgery to remove his left leg below the knee. To help pay for his medical costs, the band and other musical friends held several benefit shows in San Diego. The most recent show, held in February at Humphrey's By The Bay, also featured Evans'longtime friend and bassist Nathan East of Fourplay.
Fattburger previously lost a group member in September 2006, when saxophonist Hollis Gentry died two years after being injured in an automobile accident.
The group's most recent CD was 2004's Work To Do, featuring several cover tunes as well as original Fattburger tunes.
