2009, Tompkins Square
California-based fiddle, guitar and banjo player, Frank Fairfield has made his living as a musician, often found playing on the streets of Los Angeles. Handpicked by Fleet Foxes to open their US tour last year, Frank released a 7" on Tompkins Square and recorded his self-titled debut album.
"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
