Frank Wakefield's mandolin playing and unique vocals have graced many top bluegrass bands, from Jimmy Martin & the Sunny Mountain Boys to Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys and Frank's own Good Ole Boys.

Frank's long partnership with Red Allen in their band, the Kentuckians, gave the world some of the best-loved classic sounds from the early days of bluegrass. Honored by the International Bluegrass Music Association as a Living Legend, Frank, whose vibrant, powerful playing is featured on the award-winning album Bluegrass Mandolin Extravaganza! (Acoustic Disc), is backed by a band of Bay Area stalwarts including Graham Murphy on banjo, Jeff Harris on guitar, and fiddler Jim Moss, with whom Frank collaborated on his most recent album, Sleeping Lady.
