“It was fun hosting Frander at Mariposa in 2018. The band fit right into the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the festival and demonstrated an exquisite flare each time they performed their music. They made new fans at every set. I'd be happy recommending them as part of a weekend festival!” - Liz Scott, Artistic Director, Mariposa Festival
