“Best folk duo mix since Ian and Sylvia … when the voices and talents match up, the results are spectacular.” – Bob Mersereau, CBC arts.

“The wonderful Allan Fraser finds a new partner in the remarkable Marianne Girard.” – No Depression: The Roots Music Authority

 

GROUCHO MARX liked Allan Fraser’s music so much he invited him for dinner at his home in the Hollywood Hills.

The New York Times said of Fraser’s songs,

“…with this range of feeling, dense imagery and unexpected depth, these words may well find a place in the oral tradition of poetry.”

Fraser’s compositions have been recorded by Tom Russell, Garrison Keillor with Andra Suchy, of Prairie Home Companion, Cal Hand with Leo Kottke, Pat Donahue, Bill Hinkley and Judy Larson, The Duhks, Penny Lang and Ron Hynes.

NPR listed Allan’s signature song, Dance Hall Girls, as one of the 10 best songs of all time. Songwriter Hall of Fame member John Oates recorded Dance Hall Girls on two recent albums which he calls a tribute to the songs that shaped his career.

Fraser is best known as one half of Fraser & DeBolt who toured extensively and recorded two influential albums with Columbia Records.
