Bluegrass luminary Rebecca Frazier gained notoriety as the first woman to grace the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. In 2018, the Virginia native also became the first woman to earn a Guitar Performer of the Year nomination from the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA), an honor she received again in 2019.

Rebecca Frazier’s lifelong journey between mountains and coastal waters is the backdrop for her flagship 2024 Compass Records release, BOARDING WINDOWS IN PARADISE, a tour de force album of bluegrass and acoustic roots music which landed on No Depression music journal’s “Americana Ten” and debuted at #4 on Billboard Bluegrass charts. 

Frazier’s compelling original songs range from hard driving to thoughtful emotive folk. A bevy of acoustic A-listers such as Béla Fleck (banjo), Sam Bush (mandolin), and Stuart Duncan (fiddle) flavor her music with the wisdom and grace she is striving to present as she captures life’s juxtapositions with her new music.

Frazier’s bond with GRAMMY-winning producer Bill Wolf, known for working with Tony Rice and Grateful Dead, was the catalyst for the significant caliber of musicianship in her recordings. 

GRAMMY-winning banjoist and producer Alison Brown notes, “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, and her new record is not to be missed.”

Frazier is widely known for her work with Colorado-based outfit Hit & Run, the only band to score the bluegrass-world trifecta of winning Rockygrass, Telluride and SPBGMA festival band competitions.
