Biography

Introducing Colonel Fraser, Gentleman Banjoist and Singer. 

 

Kick the energy level up a notch on your next Special Event with some lively historical entertainment from the Maestro. This gentleman's twenty-five years of professional musical experience is evident as he energetically breathes life into the classics of Ragtime and Swing.

When Colonel Fraser sings the great songs from the 1890's through the 1930's, they pulse and vibrate as though they were penned yesterday. Swinging rhythms, four chords to the bar, and the sweet lime-sherbet tones of the tenor banjo all combines to bring added excitement to your Special Event.

Audiences will be delighted with the authentically reproduced vocal stylings of such artists as George Formby and Al Jolson, to just name a few.

Colonel Fraser's presentation is lightly humorous and suitable for all ages. Costuming can be tailored to your specific needs, from the refined elegance of top hat and tails to rustic Canadian pioneer garb.

The maestro would like to reassure you that he is equally comfortable with acoustic strolling, stationary amplified, or any combination that you may require for the success of your Special Event.

Colonel Fraser's many friends and clients agree that high energy and smiling enthusiasm are the hallmarks of the Maestro's performances.
