Dan Frechette and the Eclectics

Dan Frechette and the Eclectics Canadian Singer/Songwriter Dan Frechette has been living in the Santa Cruz Mountains for the past few years, touring incessantly violinist/vocalist Laurel Thomsen. Known in Canada for his ebullient stage persona and his exceptional songwriting skills, Dan has amassed an enormous collection of releases, available on Bandcamp. His most recent release, Jasmine Dreams, is named after his 12 string Jasmine guitar, with it's resonant beautiful sound, inspired about 400 of Dan's earliest songs as a teenager. On the album, Dan recorded 13 of his best Jasmine inspired songs and overdubbed a number of instruments, including dobro, banjo, harmonica, mandolin, electric guitar and bass, percussion, and of course his beloved 12 string. In this CD release concert we will be treated by Dan Frechette with his 12 string and harmonica and joined Laurel Thomsen on violin/vocals, as well as by local stalwarts Jerry Whitney on bass, Billy Rogers on drums, and fellow Winnipeg but now local guitar genius Alan Nagelberg .
