Brian Fraser in concert
Jan 24th 6pm Trades Hall Basement, Geelong
Brian Fraser’s song writing and finger-picking guitar-playing talents, combined with his gruff vocal style and entertaining showmanship, have been acclaimed around the country.
This was proven in 2002 when his 2001 release Sitting On The Corner was in the final nominations for Australian Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year, at the Australian Chain Awards.
Brian released his debut solo acoustic album, titled Don’t Ask Me, in 1999. The album won Album of the Year, and Brian was in the final nominations for Best New Artist at the Australian Chain Awards, held at the Goulburn Music Festival in February 2000.
Brian takes his show all over the country, whether playing standard acoustic guitar or acoustic slide, Brian showcases everything from slow heart-rending ballads, foot-stomping blues and traditional delta styles to some well-known standards.
He regularly performs at major festivals around the country, including the Thredbo Blues Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival, and just about every other major blues festival in Australia. Brian has made several appearances in Sydney on Doug Mulray’s live to the internet webcast, and has also appeared on Adelaide’s AM show on Channel 7.
Since beginning his solo career, he has shared the stage with such renowned Australian blues artists as Chris Finnen, Dutch Tilders, Doc Span, Andy Cowan, Jeff Lang, Phil Manning, and numerous others.
Brian’s love of blues music is apparent in every aspect of his approach to his performances, and this ensures that audiences everywhere find his shows highly entertaining, soul-moving and a whole lot of fun.
If that’s not enough, Brian Fraser-guitar, Dave “The Bastard” Keelings-harp, Andrew Crossley-drums and Grant “Junior” Smith-bass, got together again as Turning Blue for a session at the De La Ville last month. It was probably one of the best sessions we have heard in a while.
