Biography

[edit]

Frazier grew up in Richmond, Virginia. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1998, where she won two Hopwood writing awards.[2]

Frazier was a founding member of the Colorado-based bluegrass group Hit and Run. As a solo artist, she is based in Nashville, Tennessee.[3] She cites Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Clarence White, Jerry Garcia, and Russ Barenberg as influences.[4]
