FRASER ROSS
‘His music, which has traditional folk roots, has a wonderful way of breaking free from genre’ —The Wireless. Eccentric-folk musician Fraser Ross returned to New Zealand in 2015 after two years of living and touring in Europe and the UK, mostly Scotland. On his return he toured his debut LP, Mongrels (Home Alone Music, 2015) throughout New Zealand, supporting such bands as Phoenix Foundation, French for Rabbits, The Nudge, Newtown Rocksteady and Glass Vaults. A serious talent and a brilliant, loud-shirted presence within the New Zealand underground.
