Moving On

“Moving On” is the second studio album by the Fred Barreto Group, released on 1 October 2021, and it firmly asserts the blues‑rock identity of the Luxembourg‑based quartet. Across 11 tracks, the powerful, expressive guitar of Brazilian frontman Fred Barreto combines with a tight rhythm section and warm keyboards in a blend of rock, blues, funk, and soul influences.

Driven by songs such as “Living and Loving”, “Dream Again”, “For So Long”, and the title track “Moving On”, the album radiates a distinctly live energy, with a massive yet precise sound, recorded and produced by Mike Butcher (notably known for his work with Black Sabbath and Rod Stewart). The compositions shift between heavy riffs, funk‑tinged grooves, and more melodic passages, while maintaining an organic through‑line that highlights the cohesion of the band: Fred Barreto (guitar/vocals), Nadja Prange (organ), Daniel Fastro (bass), and Michael Stein (drums).

As a whole, it functions as a sonic calling card for FBG: a modern, intense brand of heavy blues‑rock, built for the stage, that showcases Barreto’s virtuosic guitar playing without ever sacrificing the impact and memorability of the songs.
