Fraser Anderson

The Scotland-born singer-songwriter Fraser Anderson began his career amongst the Scottish folk scene, performing with Dougie MacLean as a vocalist, supporting Joan Armatrading at the Perth Festival of the Arts and The Low Anthem and Chuck Berry in concerts around Europe.
With the artist now based in France, where he recorded his last two albums, his following is quietly building from the foothills of the French Pyrenees where he settled, making ripples from London to New York. Recently, Fraser has played live sessions for Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2, Radio Scotland, NPR and most recently in May 2011 on WFUV in New York. In January 2010, he recorded a live BBC set alongside Natalie Merchant and her band for Celtic Connections, broadcast out from the Pacific Quay in Glasgow.
Fraser’s previous albums include “and the girl with the strawberry…”, hailed by Scottish press as a “masterpiece”. His second album, “Coming up for air”, was described by Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 as “truly beautiful.
He has finished recording his third album, “Little Glass Box”, a retro folk-soul exploration recorded with world class musicians Danny Thompson on double bass (John Martyn, Nick Drake), Dick Pearce on trumpet (Ronnie Scott Quintet), Martin Ditcham on percussion (Sade) and Max Middleton on Rhodes piano (Jeff Beck, John Martyn). It has already been labelled “breathtaking” recently on WFUV in New York during a live session on John Platt’s ‘Sunday Breakfast Show’.
