Frank Wakefield’s 84th Birthday Show
Legendary mandolin player Frank Wakefield’s shows are famous for the power and raw beauty of his mandolin playing and for his liveliness and humor on stage. Frank turns 84 years old this month and is playing as great as ever!
Since the release of his first original tune, “New Camptown Races” in 1953 at the age of nineteen, Frank has revolutionized the sound of bluegrass music. He has ceaselessly explored new musical frontiers, paving the way for other musicians and shaping the way generations of musicians play the mandolin.
The Frank Wakefield Band features fine singing and hot, innovative picking. Band members include Frank on mandolin and vocals, Deane Lewis on banjo and vocals and Pat Mullaly on guitar and vocals.
