“Like alchemy, Fredericks fuses elements from blues, roots rock, jazz, and folk to form his own distinct sound. Give a quick listen to this gentleman, and let Fredericks’ sand-textured vocals and honest lyrics whisk you away to the illusion of a simpler time.” - Elissa Ebersold, NippertownAmericana singer-songwriter, Sawyer Fredericks, hailing from a farm in central New York, began playing local farmers markets, open mics, and iconic New York venues at the age of 13. With his deep, beyond-his-years original lyrics and melodies, soulful vocals, and powerful live performances, Sawyer seemed an unlikely match for reality tv, but he won over audiences to win season 8 of NBC's The Voice.
Fredericks released his major label debut, A Good Storm, with Republic Records, an impressive blend of soulful Folk, blues, and rock, entirely self or co-written. He chose to go independent for Hide Your Ghost (2018). Fully written and produced by Fredericks, HYG sheds the high gloss major label treatment and stays true to his honest stripped-down style.
In 2020, with song premieres in People Magazine, American Songwriter, DittyTV and an album preview in Billboard, Fredericks released Flowers For You. With this project, “Fredericks is expanding his sound even more, moving from bluesy folk into more expansive Americana, rock and tines of jazz” ( Concert Hopper. ) The album was included in No Depression Readers’ 50 Favorite Roots Music Albums of 2020, and several tracks won top awards from the 18th annual Independent Music Awards,"Born" in the Folk/Singer-Songwriter category and "Amen" the Vox Pop award in the Social Action Song category. “Born” was in rotation on SiriusXM’s Coffee House channel and included in Amazon Music's editorial 'Fresh Folk and Americana' playlist.
In January 2021, Sawyer released his rendition of the iconic “What A Wonderful World” with an accompanying animated video, and in 2023, Sawyer released The Golden Tree EP, featuring his band and Sav Buist and Katie Larson of The Accidentals.
In the spring of 2024, Sawyer and his band returned to Dreamland in Woodstock to record a full-length album.
