Nick Frater, the British multi-instrumentalist and producer, effortlessly melds 60s/70s sophisticated-pop with vintage recording techniques, drawing parallels with icons like Bacharach and The Beatles. Based in Croydon, his decade-spanning discography boasts consistent acclaim, with notable mentions like the "Album of the Year" accolade for Earworms (2021). His knack for innovation is evident in projects like 59 Vignettes, the first-ever Instagram concept album, and The Rebutles, a whimsical take on The Rutles' imagined solo ventures. A linchpin in the DIY music scene, Frater has collaborated with melodic-rock giants such as Roger Joseph Manning Jr and Johnny Echols. Beyond his own releases, he's showcased his prowess producing under the moniker Great Sheiks and graced stages as a live keyboardist for Love. With his new album, Bivouac, Frater's musical journey promises even more evocative melodies and captivating narratives.
