At 7:30 PM EST, we welcome Rob Fraim. Rob’s musical path began with classical piano recitals, detoured through blues and rock bands, and paused for decades of family life. Now, later in life, he has returned to the stage with an acoustic guitar, a storyteller’s voice, and a lifetime of music behind him. Based in Roanoke, VA, he performs in intimate venues and concert stages, weaving together his original songs and handpicked indie-folk and alt-country covers. “Honest acoustic music is about embracing the rough edges - so if the voice cracks or these old fingers miss a string, well, we’ll call that art … almost with a straight face.” Check him out at facebook.com/RobFraimMusic.
