Sawyer Fredericks

Americana singer-songwriter Sawyer Fredericks, hailing from his family farm in central New York State, cut his teeth at the age of 13, playing local farmers markets, open mics, and small venues. With his deep, beyond-his-years original lyrics and melodies, raw, soulful vocals, and powerful live performances, Fredericks seemed an unlikely match for reality TV, but having been scouted by casting directors at 15, he quickly won over broad audiences with his genuine delivery and unique arrangements of classic songs, going on to win season 8 of NBC’s The Voice.

From his first album, A Good Storm, to his latest, Flowers For You, Fredericks’ elegantly stripped down style has grown, while staying true to his roots and maintaining an impressive blend of soulful folk, blues, and rock. No Depression hailed 2018’s Hide Your Ghost as “a bluesy folk rocker with no-frills production that relies on Fredericks’ raw voice to carry the emotional weight.” In 2020, with song premieres in People Magazine, American Songwriter, DittyTV and an album preview in Billboard, Sawyer 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. Since the release of Flowers For You, “Born” has been in rotation on SiriusXM’s Coffee House channel and was covered by Amazon Music’s editorial “Fresh Folk Americana” playlist.
