Frank Fairfield - Frank Fairfield

"A young Californian who sings and plays as someone who's crawled out of the Virginia mountains carrying familiar songs that in his hands sound forgotten: broken lines, a dissonant drone, the fiddle or the banjo all percussion, every rising moment louder than the one before it." - Greil Marcus

California-based fiddle, guitar and banjo player and ardent 78 collector Frank Fairfield has made his living as a musician, often found playing on the streets of Los Angles. Handpicked by Fleet Foxes to open their U.S. tour last year, Frank released a 7-inch on Tompkins Square and recorded his self-titled debut album. His 7-inch won over tough critics and purists like Grammy winning producer Chris King (Charley Patton, People Take Warning box set), Phil Alexander (Mojo) and Greil Marcus, to name a few.
