Rebecca Frazier is a triple threat.  She is a wonderfully engaging singer, a compelling songwriter and an accomplished guitarist to boot.  All of these talents come together to dazzling effect on When We Fall.  I’m proud of Rebecca for what she’s achieved on this album, for her tenacity in pursuing her dream and for recording one of the best bluegrass albums I’ve heard this year.
– Alison Brown

“I’ve worked with Rebecca for several festivals, and her masterful guitar work & exceptional vocals never disappoint. She attracts some of the best musicians on the planet to her band. In September 2022, Rebecca Frazier + Hit & Run headlined our Yellowstone Harvest Festival, and their performances were stunning.”

~Kelly Eastes, Yellowstone Harvest Festival. Bozeman, MT

The Bluegrass Standard, 2023

Rebecca Frazier Bluegrass Standard 2023

Hit & Run brought a potent show to our Masters Weekend event on Lake Superior in November. We’d seen them in their heavy touring days, so we knew that they’d put on a fantastic and unique bluegrass experience for our workshop and concert. We were looking for a hard working, hard hitting, talented bluegrass band: Hit & Run brought it.
–  Wayne Russ, Director, North Shore Music Association, Minnesota [ FULL REVIEW ]

“Rebecca Frazier’s ‘When We Fall’ is the best bluegrass album of 2013…Frazier easily stands in the ranks of Alison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent, and her compelling lyrics transport us through the pain of loss, love’s disappointments, and the hope of healing….Every song on this beautiful album reveals a facet of Frazier’s musical brilliance.” BLUEGRASS SITUATION, LOOKING BACK: Our Top Picks of 2013

“A genuine triple threat as singer, songwriter and flatpicking guitarist….When We Fall(Amtoco/Compass), a stout piece of work that demands — and should bring — plenty of attention. Co-produced with veteran Brent Truitt, the album features a nicely chosen set of pickers and several original songs that offer satisfying twists on bluegrass tradition, exemplified by the laid-back sway of the title track…..Don’t be surprised if When We Fall winds up on a bunch of “best of the year” lists.” — NASHVILLE SCENE / JON WEISBERGER READ FULL ARTICLE HERE

“If When We Fall is not the best bluegrass album of 2013, then it’s easily among the top five albums of the year. With her emotional, powerful vocals, Rebecca Frazier—known for her work in the award-winning bluegrass band, Hit & Run—stands in the ranks of Alison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent; her compelling lyrics transport us through the pain of loss, love’s disappointments, and the hope of healing….. she demonstrates why she is simply one of the best flattop guitar pickers working today. Every song on this beautiful album reveals a facet of Rebecca Frazier’s musical brilliance, and not one song on the album disappoints.” ENGINE145.COM READ FULL ARTICLE HERE

“When We Fall, born in tragedy, becomes a stirring, at times high-spirited, celebration of life, love and spiritual reconciliation….That When We Fall, despite its sober title, is infused with so much life, honors the Fraziers’ resilience, their new daughter and the spirit of their departed son.” DEEP ROOTS MAGAZINE 2013 Elite Half Hundred

“Rebecca Frazier’s When We Fall is the most welcome surprise to land on my desk yet this year, and the signal that there’s a major new bandleader, singer, songwriter, and guitarist in the top ranks of the world of bluegrass music.” (5 stars out of 5) LONESOME ROAD REVIEW READ FULL ARTICLE HERE

“This thunderbolt of simplicity reminds us how powerful music can be when you focus on, well, the music. Frazier confidently avoids frills and fuss, allowing us to bask in shining vocals, crisp, inventive instrumentation and intelligent songwriting. Nearly all of the 12 songs on When We Fall are originals, but Frazier’s…[songs] pack more than enough hook to knock down genre barriers.” ENGINE 145 BEST OF BLUEGRASS AND ITS OFFSHOOTS, 2013

“As much as it is a musical achievement, When We Fall persists in memory for its flesh and blood humanity. Rebecca Frazier will be heard from by dint of her artistry as a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist but the heart informing her music makes all the difference.” DEEP ROOTS MAGAZINE

“This woman’s voice is a nearly perfect bluegrass instrument–both powerful and delicate…I’d never heard her before and she is in a league of her own with a voice that falls somewhere between Alison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent without sounding at all like either.” MAVERICK MAGAZINE (U.K.)

March 2014

“For bluegrass artist Rebecca Frazier,
the guitar has always been a means of
transporting her, whether to a different
state of mind, to a campfire bluegrass
circle, or onto the stage of one of the
hundred-plus festivals at which she
has performed” FULL ARTICLE

“Rebecca Frazier’s particular version of bluegrass—chordally complex without being really jazzy, virtuosic without being headlong, soulfully tuneful without being soully—is very, very good. She writes great songs, she sings them beautifully, she plays lead guitar like Tony Rice (well, okay, not quite like Tony Rice, but she’s definitely a hot picker), and she leads her band skillfully. Notably, she has created an album that lovers of newgrass and acidgrass alike should be able to agree on—it really is brilliant.” CD HOTLIST FULL ARTICLE

“It’s easy to enjoy a project with so many fine characteristics. It is well produced,  the supporting musicians are fantastic and the mixing is nothing short of spectacular….Rebecca, in addition to being a superb vocalist and lyricist, is a masterful flat-pick guitar player, playing with a level of imagination, taste, and authority that will awe many of her listeners, as well as her peers.” PRESCRIPTION BLUEGRASS FULL ARTICLE

“As a picker, Frazier shows the influence of Tony Rice, particularly on the melodic instrumental Virginia Coastline, but she’s clearly learned the lessons from Rice that playing lead is not all about speed and playing backup is not just about keeping time. In short, Frazier is, like both Krauss and Rice, a superbly well-rounded talent. She most evokes the dynamic early years of Krauss’ career, making this disc a pleasant and rewarding experience.” COUNTRY STANDARD TIME FULL ARTICLE

“…It is the story of turning grief into beauty, of coming alive thanks to the power of music….The collection of bluegrass and Americana songs closes with a song called ‘Babe in Arms,’ which she sang at her son’s memorial service. Many of the other songs began as part of her healing process but evolved into something that sounds less mournful. All of the tracks, though, are rooted in deep emotion.”  LSA MAGAZINE

 “You must be somebody pretty special and extraordinarily talented to get the bassist and banjo player for Alison Krauss and Union Station and the mandolin player for Steve Martin to play on your first solo record. Rebecca Frazier is just that and more. Her playing is distinctive, and her voice is lilting and lyrical.” CHAPEL HILL MAGAZINE FULL ARTICLE

“The songs aren’t so much gloomy as they are hopeful, with a few instrumentals here and there to show off why Frazier is cover-worthy.” BILLINGS GAZETTE

“Rebecca Frazier’s voice is a nearly perfect bluegrass instrument – both powerful and delicate. She also happens to be a fine songwriter, as demonstrated by the nine original songs on When We Fall…She is a monster flatpicker, with a crisp clean attack and superb timing….” AUDIOPHILEREVIEW.COM

“Rebecca Frazier succeeded in her goal of making an enduring album. The production quality of When We Fall is modern, nonetheless the well-crafted acoustic instrumentation and vocals make this recording an everlasting collection of songs….When We Fall contains a mix of splendid ear friendly bluegrass and Americana songs and dazzling instrumentals.” WORLD MUSIC CENTRAL

“Rebecca’s songs offer a refreshing perspective, with lyrics that burst with creative imagery and emotion, and memorable melodies that don’t always go where you expect. If I was half the musician Rebecca is, I’d be a very happy woman. You’ll be a very happy fan if you buy this album. I guarantee it.” MINOR 7TH

“magical vocalist, stunning guitarist….gorgeous new CD” Horizon Records

“…She’s far from a newcomer….If you’ve never heard her sing or pick a guitar, it’s time to remedy that. Soft voiced but modern sounding and spot on guitar work makes this a cd you need to hear.” BILLSBLUEGRASS.COM

When We Fall is one sweet record; I’m very impressed. Songs, arrangements, instrumental work…really strong stuff, and Rebecca’s lead playing is just amazing. She’s been putting in some serious time. The closing track in tribute to her angel gone home is especially poignant and touching.”
– Tim Timberlake, T-Square Studios/JAMInc, In Your Ear Radio, Virginia [ FULL REVIEW ]

My job is easy when I work with professionals like this group. Rebecca is the most organized instructor we have ever had up here for our workshop and concert. So many people have asked for a copy of Rebecca’s class hand-outs. I’d like to thank Hit & Run for being real.”
– Ron Mercer, Director, Northern Bluegrass Circle Music Society, Alberta, Canada [ FULL REVIEW ]

Hit & Run combines strong compositional skills, individual musicianship, and ensemble playing, and that indefinable vibrancy that distinguishes the great from the good.”
– Garian Vigil, Colorado Daily [ FULL REVIEW ]

Hit & Run’s appeal may be their youthful energy combined with polished vocals, hot picking, and their contemporary sound. Their music is “handspun yet motor-driven, a well-oiled machine of sound produced by men and women with flying fingers and high, lonesome voices.”
– Denver Westword

They came out of nowhere and they collided with the Colorado bluegrass scene head on…
– James Thompson, Rocky Mountain Bullhorn

“That girl sure has a pretty voice.”
– Dr. Ralph Stanley at the Boulder Theater, Boulder, CO, 2006

Rebecca Frazier began performing professionally in Telluride, Colorado, in the late 90’s. Frazier came to national attention in 2006 as the first woman on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine, and after moving to Nashville in 2007, she was recognized as “a genuine triple threat as a singer, songwriter, and flatpicking guitarist” by The Nashville Scene. The Virginia native was later picked up by Compass Records for her flatpicking/songwriting solo showcase When We Fall, which was called “the best bluegrass album of 2013” by Henry Carrigan of The Bluegrass Situation.  The album received heavy airplay on SiriusXM Radio and peaked at #3 on the national Roots Music Report Chart. In 2018, Frazier became the first woman to be nominated for SPBGMA Guitar Performer of the Year and was nominated again in 2019. Paste Magazine deemed Frazier one of “Seven Women Smashing the Bluegrass Glass Ceiling” in 2017. Other honors include Frazier’s featured appearance singing and playing “Keep on the Sunnyside” on Hank Williams’ biopic, the 20^th Century Fox The Last Ride movie soundtrack released by Curb Records in 2012, and Frazier’s 2009 IBMA Recorded Event of the Year award for her work on the Daughters of Bluegrass’ Bluegrass Bouquet. Frazier is a founding member of Hit & Run, the first and only band to win all three high-profile bluegrass band contests—Telluride (2003), Rockygrass (2002), and SPBGMA (2005) Festival Competitions. Dubbed “East Nashville real deal bluegrass” by journalist Craig Havighurst, the band has toured throughout 41 states and Canada since 2002 and has performed as Rebecca Frazier and Hit & Run since 2013. Frazier earned a B.A. in Music from the University of Michigan and studied guitar at Berklee College of Music. She has taught workshops across the U.S. and Canada since 2005, and was on staff at Nashville Music Academy from 2008 to 2021.

 Rebecca Frazier gained national recognition as the first woman on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine, and has since become known as “a genuine triple threat as singer, songwriter, and flatpicking guitarist.” (Nashville Scene) With over two decades of touring under her belt, Frazier returned to the national stage with her flatpicking and songwriting showcase, When We Fall, and her affiliation with Compass Records. Rebecca Frazier and Hit & Run have continued to delight audiences across the country with the “handspun yet motor-driven” music that earned Hit & Run their reputation as “one of the tightest groups performing.” (Denver Westword) They are the only band to win the top triumvirate of major bluegrass band contests at the Telluride, Rockygrass, and SPBGMA Festival Band Championships.

Hit & Run formed in late 2001 with the mutual desire to play “authentic yet modern” bluegrass. They quickly launched as a successful touring act out of Colorado, gracing stages of prestigious festivals and venues in 41 states and Canada and eventually migrating to Nashville in 2007 with two studio albums under their belts. Since 2002, Hit & Run has shared stages with the likes of Jimmy Martin, Hot Rize, Rhonda Vincent, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Del McCoury, David Grisman, Ricky Skaggs, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, G. Love & Special Sauce, Galactic, Medeski Martin & Wood, and many other recognized acts in bluegrass and popular music.

Journalist Craig Havighurst calls Rebecca Frazier “East Nashville real deal bluegrass,” and the success of her release, When We Fall, has been authenticating this title. The album earned accolades as “Best Bluegrass Album of 2013,” according to Bluegrass Situation, #6 on Bluegrass Today’s Monthly Chart, and #3 on Roots Music Report Bluegrass Chart. Rebecca’s work has been featured in national publications, including Bluegrass Today, Engine 145, Deep Roots Magazine, Maverick, Bluegrass Now, Bluegrass Unlimited, and more.

Rebecca worked through a personal tragedy to write and then record deeply personal songs for When We Fall, released May 28, 2013 by Compass Records. Recorded and co-produced by Brent Truitt (Dixie Chicks, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton), the album features several flatpicking guitar “manifestos” from Rebecca’s compositional repertoire, as well as original ballads, folky Americana, and bluegrass songs following a Neil Young cover and the traditional “Ain’t Gonna Work Tomorrow” from Hit & Run’s stage repertoire. Says Deep Roots Magazine, “Frazier is in superb voice throughout…As much as it is a musical achievement, When We Fall persists in memory for its flesh and blood humanity.”

Grammy Award winning musician Alison Brown hails Frazier by saying, “Rebecca Frazier is a triple threat.  She is a wonderfully engaging singer, a compelling songwriter and an accomplished guitarist to boot.  All of these talents come together to dazzling effect on When We Fall.  I’m proud of Rebecca for what she’s achieved on this album, for her tenacity in pursuing her dream, and for recording one of the best bluegrass albums of this decade.”

Since 2001, Hit & Run has gained the respect of promoters, fans, musicians, and media across the country with their “indefinable vibrancy that distinguishes the great from the good” (Colorado Daily). Touring as Rebecca Frazier and Hit & Run, the band showcases Hit & Run’s arrangement prowess while bringing Rebecca’s compositional and writing skills to the forefront. In 2023, Kelly Eastes, Yellowstone Harvest Festival of Montana confirms, “I’ve worked with Rebecca for several festivals, and her masterful guitar work & exceptional vocals never disappoint. She attracts some of the best musicians on the planet to her band. In September 2022, Rebecca Frazier + Hit & Run headlined our Yellowstone Harvest Festival, and their performances were stunning.”
