personal bio “I grew up in the mountainous Canadian woods and I guess that's where my music comes from. It seems to be those mountains that occupy my mindscapes when I hear or play the music that gets to me. I have memories of my mother driving through the hills, windows down, yodelling at the top of her voice. One day on that drive she picked up a hitchhiker who had been travelling around playing the bluegrass festivals. He'd met a girl and was en route to meet her at the next festival when he heard that while she had been hitchhikehiking, a car stopping to pick her up had been rear ended and shunted into the girl, killing her. I was about seven and too young to understand the implications of life's intensity. But when he played Mr. Bojangles, and others, on his acoustic guitar amongst the cedar grove encircling our house, I reached my defining moment. There were visions on the chords and those images have never gone away”. Dominique Fraissard started seriously playing guitar late
