It’s hard to stump John Frazier when it comes to discussing music.
He’s quick to respond, with an easy laugh, to questions about the ways his Nashville-based outfit, FrazierBand, melds bluegrass with rock, jazz, R&B and other genres. Ask about his bandmates, and he’ll tout their versatility and his trust in them.
But Frazier’s train of thought sputters to a halt when asked about what he learned from sharing the stage with the likes of Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Tony Rice and other bluegrass luminaries.
“Can we come back to that later?” he asks during a phone interview advancing his band’s appearance at Barking Legs Theater on Friday evening, April 18.
