Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Fraser’s need to write began as a teenager when he witnessed the tragic death of a new friend who, the night before eerily asked, “Have you seen a dead body before?”
He has performed in some of Europe's biggest venues and festivals and notably received a resounding nod of approval from the late father of rock n roll, Chuck Berry who, after watching his support act from the wings, said , “This boy's pretty damn good”.
In the realm of soul-baring musicians, he stands shoulder to shoulder with, and has been likened to Bon Iver, Damien Rice, Nick Drake and Laura Marling.
By nineteen he became a father. Parenting and working around the clock he found rare moments to write songs. Scottish folk legend Dougie McLean invited Anderson to join his band. This influenced his debut album, ‘and the Girl with the Strawberry…, recorded in Perth & Butterstone, Scotland in 2003
Fraser moved to rural France in 2005 to raise three sons he had with his wife. The young family sold their home to raise the funds to experience an unplanned adventure and to record the second album.
Released In 2006, ‘Coming Up For Air’, hailed as “Truly beautiful” by BBC R2’s Bob Harris.
2010 released Third album ‘Little Glass Box’, featuring the legendary Danny Thompson on double bass (John Martyn/Nick Drake)
“Quite brilliant” - Folk Radio.
