Let’s start with an on-point opinion from GRAMMY-winning banjoist and producer Alison Brown: “Rebecca Frazier is an important voice among the group of women whose musical talents and creative visions are recasting bluegrass. A triple threat, she sings, plays, and writes with fire and grace.” This “triple threat” will be gracing the Otter Opry stage on Thursday, August 21st at the United Methodist Church in Monterey, and it’s a show you’ll want to put on your calendar without delay.Grounded in her roots as a native Virginian, and like generations of her ancestors who have lived along Virginia’s coast, Rebecca Frazier has weathered life’s hurricanes and battering winds. She has also witnessed its luminous beauty, and her aim is to capture that juxtaposition with her music. “The paradox presented in the last line of my song ‘Hurricanes’ — ’We just keep on living here, boarding windows every year in paradise’ — that’s what pushed me to my current space,” she explains.
As the first woman to grace the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine, there’s no question that Frazier’s unique guitar playing will set the tone for this show. And with Charles Butler on banjo, Larry Cook on bass, Jordan Santiago on mandolin, and Ellie Hakanson on fiddle, you can be sure that the music will be moving, inspirational, and fully authentic. Being real and true has always been a top priority for Frazier, and that’s what this show is all about: real, true bluegrass and acoustic roots music. So come on down, have dinner with us before the show ($15 in advance, $20 after August 16th), and get ready for an evening you’ll never forget.
7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church, 1 Soledad Drive, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). www.otteropry.org
