Steve Martin’s protégé, John Frazier, an A-Session musician’s musician, known for his mastery of the mandolin, guitar and the fiddle is coming to Roanoke on July 21st at Martin’s in downtown Roanoke.
Aside from playing great music, Frazier hopes to make some real changes in the lives of children with disabilities as well. John says that music in itself can be very healing. Because he’s a father of two healthy children, his heart breaks for families in need of help. His tour will be about healing in many ways; he’s looking forward to donating proceeds from this tour to “The Children’s Miracle Network.”
His latest CD, “Some People Change”, was produced at the famous Destiny Studios in East Nashville with some VIP performers making several appearances. His single “Chillin” is already creating a “buzz” within the record industry, and Frazier and his band will be shooting a new video this month premiering on YouTube.
Frazier has toured and played with film and comedy legend Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. During the tour, Frazier, Martin, and the Rangers co-wrote the song “Go Away, Stop, Turn Around, Come Back,” that Martin recorded on Rare Bird Alert. He has also played and recorded with John Cowan, Jim Lauderdale and bands such as Yonder Mountain String Band and Hit & Run.
Frazier brings a powerful, eclectic history as an acoustic and bluegrass performer with him as he performs at venues all across the U.S. and overseas this year, including stops at the Grande Ole Opry, The Kennedy Center, and the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Show starts @10:00 pm. All Ages FREE
