Fred Frith is an absolute free spirited legend of guitar and sound manipulation. We can barely believe he is coming to the Comox Valley as one of three Vancouver Island shows (along with Nanaimo and Victoria).A pioneering electric guitarist and improviser, song-writer, and composer of avant-rock and free improvisation. Founding member of Henry Cow, Art Bears, Massacre, and Skeleton Crew. Has worked with a wide range of artists, including Brian Eno, John Zorn, Robert Wyatt, The Residents, Bill Laswell, Mike Patton, Derek Bailey, Lol Coxhill, Bob Ostertag and more...
