Frank Wakefield Band
Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY
Fronted by the reigning statesman of bluegrass mandolin, the Frank Wakefield Band features fine bluegrass harmonies and hot, innovative picking. Frank is famed for his zany humor, his brilliant teaching techniques, and above all for his lasting contribution to the development of bluegrass music.
He is widely considered to be the bridge between the traditional style of Bill Monroe and the wide-open spaces being explored by today's young "Newgrass" pickers, including Frank's students David Grisman and Ronnie McCoury.
Since Frank first burst on to the scene with his song "New Camptown Races" in 1953, he has gone on to record and perform with Ralph Stanley, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and all the greats of the bluegrass world.
This evening Frank will perform with Dave Shaw on banjo and fiddle, Robert Fraker on guitar and fiddle, and Lillian Fraker on bass. All members of the band chime in on harmony vocals.
Note: Caffe Lena is an all-ages listening room that does not serve alcohol. Desserts, light vegetarian fare, and organic fair-trade coffee are offered at all shows. //
