Frank Fairfield is a young man and old time folk musician from the San
Joaquin Valley who plays fiddle, guitar, and banjo while singing and
hollering. Steeped in the pre-War Americana of Mississippi John Hurt and
Dock Boggs, he cut his teeth as a street performer in Los Angeles and
plays with edgy intensity from a vast repertoire of traditional songs
and roots-inspired originals.
Meredith Axelrod is a multi-instrumentalist with a passion for early jazz and pre-1930s American
pop music. She has performed with Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, the Cheap Suit
Serenaders, R. Crumb, the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, and in a duo with Craig Ventresco. The website Jazz Lives
calls her “an unusual combination of demure and passionate.”
