Fraser Wayne

Born and raised in rural Ontario, bandleader and songwriter, Fraser Wayne, cut his teeth in the music world after moving to Montreal in 2014. After years fronting seminal garage rock band, The Fuzzy Undertones, and playing in local bands such as Light Bulb Alley, LEMONGRAB, and Lovers Suicide, Fraser chose to break off to pursue a new vision and sound, with a focus on honest songwriting and imaginative storytelling. The resulting project breaks into some diverse influences, ranging from Americana, folk-rock, spaghetti western soundtracks and more. His prolific output over the past couple of years, including 3 full length LP’s, an EP, and a handful of singles, have all been released on his own label, Fishbum Records. A man of many hats – you can catch Fraser playing an intimate solo set at your local dive bar, or headlining festivals with a full backing band – always blending his country / rock n roll influences with honest-to-the-bone lyricism. Just recently, Fraser moved to Wasaga Beach, Ontario, and he’s currently working on new material to release in 2024. With years of performing and touring experience behind him, including supporting slots for Paul Jacobs, Spindrift, Li’l Andy, Bobby Dove, and The Sadies, Fraser Wayne’s haunting, gothic take on country and western is set to take no prisoners.
