Fraser Anderson & His Band + support WHEREISJOZEF Tickets Available on the door
GBP9.00 - GBP12.00
We have about 20 tickets avilable on the door for Tonight's gig. 8pm.
Fraser Anderson is a highly acclaimed modern cinematic British folk artist. Joining Fraser will be Holly Carter (Winner of ‘Best Instrumentalist” at 2023 Americana awards); the super-talented double bass player, John Parker and the sublime vocalist - Bex Baxter
Emotionally, he moves people the way Damien Rice can; he weaves stories with the craft of Glen Hansard; his songs brood, serious like Nick Drake; he has the lively showmanship of John Martyn, but Fraser Anderson stands above them all, a “truly remarkable artist” (BBC Radio Wales).
If you haven’t heard Anderson’s music yet, you are in for a treat. Words fail to prepare you for the delicate warm and comforting tones of his voice, described by BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris as “truly beautiful”.
The sensitive nature of his lyrics, his subtle guitar playing, stellar vocals, and use of sharp stirring instrumental arrangements have left listeners spellbound. Audiences have described his live performances as deeply moving and uplifting, and for some “the best gig” they have ever been to.
Anderson is a sophisticated artist whose musical tales of human vulnerability connect so deeply they feel like an instant soundtrack to your life. His work takes folk to a level that is cinematic in reach and vision.
‘and the Girl with the Strawberry, his 2003 acclaimed debut album, was recorded wedged between a mattress and a wall in the corner of a friend’s bedroom. In 2006, his second album Coming Up For Air was hailed as “Truly beautiful” by BBC R2’s Bob Harris.
Fraser then moved to rural France, where he lived and raised his family. In between physically demanding labouring jobs, he penned songs and performed at local village concerts to a community that adored him and his music. This life line support would soon propel him to launch his third studio album in 2010, Little Glass Box featuring the legendary Danny Thompson on double bass (Nick Drake, Kate Bush and John Martyn) [“Quite brilliant’ - Folk Radio].
With vast emotional reserves at work, Fraser Anderson is likened to Damien Rice, Nick Drake and Bon Iver. Combining painted narratives, unique acoustic tunings, soaring harmonies with a tender falsetto he affords the most arresting and intimate performance experiences. Reminiscent of Joni Mitchell's melodic movement, Fraser’s poetic honesty and passion for design weaves throughout his music. Audiences have described his live performances as deeply moving.
His forthcoming album, All we are, is to be released early 2023 . The sense of love amidst the spontaneity and impermanence of everything continues in this new body of work. Exploring human connection, vulnerability and our responsibility to each other and the wider world, Fraser reflects on his own personal life experiences to question wider themes of who we are, what love is and our role in creating the world we want to live in.
