BIOGRAPHY |
![]() |

Rebecca Frazier and Hit & Run, a high-energy 5-piece, female-led bluegrass & beyond show, power-packed with flatpicking, will announce a new album to be released in summer ‘23. The record, produced by legendary Bill Wolf (of Grateful Dead and Tony Rice fame), includes the talents of Béla Fleck, Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan, Barry Bales, Ron Block, Scott Vestal, Josh Swift, Paul Franklin + more.
Hit & Run launched as a touring project out of Colorado in 2001, as the only band ever to win the three major national bluegrass band competitions at Telluride, Rockygrass, and SPBGMA festivals.The band has toured throughout 41 states and Canada since 2002. After migrating to Nashville in 2007 with two studio albums under their belts, journalist Craig Havighurst dubbed the band “East Nashville real deal bluegrass.”
Rebecca Frazier broke new ground as the first woman on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine in 2006 and the first woman nominated for SPBGMA Guitar Performer of the Year in 2018 & 2019. Paste Magazine deemed Frazier one of ‘7 Women Smashing the Bluegrass Glass Ceiling’ in 2017.
With the release of her successful album When We Fall on Compass Records in 2013, Frazier rebranded her touring identity to include her own name. 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 came together to dazzling effect on When We Fall. I’m proud of Rebecca for what she’s achieved, for her tenacity in pursuing her dream, and for recording one of the best bluegrass albums of this decade.”
“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.

Rebecca Frazier
Rebecca Frazier began playing guitar 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” (Nashville Scene). The Virginia native was picked up by Compass Records for her flatpicking/songwriting solo showcase When We Fall (2013). 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 20th 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. Flatpicking Guitar Magazine writes “Although she has achieved great success, Frazier continues to be passionate about her music and guitar playing. Her journey is one that should serve to inspire any guitar player, singer, or songwriter.” |

Isaac Eicher, Mandolin Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Isaac Eicher has inspired many mandolin players with his genre-bending mandolin mastery. He began his early career largely in a bluegrass context, and twice won the National Mandolin Championship in Winfield, KS, as a teenager in 2006 and then again in 2017. After winning Colorado state championships at Rockygrass (mandolin, guitar) he gravitated toward the sounds of gypsy jazz, bebop, and latin jazz on the acoustic mandolin incorporating modern mandolin technique. Isaac’s style draws inspiration from traditional musical language in such a way that allows the mandolin to transcend its standard settings and idiomatic restraints. In addition to studying music, Isaac received a B.A. in Spanish from the University of Oklahoma and spent a year of intensive language study in Valencia, Spain. This allowed him the opportunity travel to Europe with his mandolin playing and making musical friends in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Ireland, and Scotland.

Nate Leath, Fiddle Nate Leath grew up in Hickory, North Carolina, a town in the heart of bluegrass and old-time music country. Nate picked up his first fiddle at age eight after admiring one on his grandmother’s wall. His virtuosic skills quickly became apparent, and three years later, at age eleven, Nate won the adult bluegrass fiddle contest at the renowned Galax Old Time Fiddlers’ Convention, becoming one of the youngest winners of what is widely considered the Super Bowl of fiddlers’ contests. Nate is known for his creativity, technical skills, and versatility, and for exploring many styles beyond bluegrass. Nate has performed and recorded with a number of traditional and progressive bluegrass and old-time bands, as well as such genre-busting groups as David Grisman Quintet, Old School Freight Train, Love Canon, and artist Sierra Ferrell. |
