FRANK FAIRFIELD - SATURDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER @3PM
The California based fiddle, guitar and banjo player and ardent 78
collector Frank Fairfield sings soaring hillbilly ballads, arcane rambling songs and murder ballads delivered in a reedy tenor with that irresistible dust to digital quality. Still in his early twenties but steeped in the pre-War
Americana of Mississippi John Hurt and Dock Boggs, he cut his teeth as a street performer in LA and has the raw intensity and spellbinding techniqueto make your hairs stand on end.
Fleet Foxes handpicked him to open for them on their 2008 US tour and he has found fans elsewhere in Grammy winning producer Chris King (Charley Patton, People Take Warning box set), Phil Alexander (Mojo) and Greil Marcus. His debut album is out now on Tompkins Square and picked up rave reviews across the board. Tompkins Square are also giving him his own reissue label Pawn Records. A first compilation of rare as hen's teeth 78's from Frank's collection is due out in June.
“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
