Frank Lee and Allie Burbrink

Frank Lee and Allie Burbrink

Frank Lee and Allie Burbrink present songs and tunes from the rural Southern, spanning bluegrass, old time, country blues, and spirituals. After a few years of collaborating, they took their duo act on the road in January 2016, with Frank playing guitar, slide guitar, and banjo and Allie playing guitar, banjo, and harmonica. They can be heard trading off lead and harmony vocals in their duo and with their old time string band The Freight Hoppers.

A passion for traditional songs and tunes from the rural South has fueled Frank's love of performing for the past 40 years. As a founding member of The Freight Hoppers, he has shared this passion with audiences all over the United States, Canada, and northern Europe. His repertoire has a range of old time music that spans raw Blues from the Mississippi Delta to the hillbilly music recorded in the 1920s. Banjo players all over the world study and emulate Franks signature clawhammer sound.

Allie Burbrink cut her musical teeth in The Whipstitch Sallies, a bluegrass-influenced band from Indiana that toured in North Carolina, Colorado, and Hawaii in addition to a busy local schedule. She has relocated to North Carolina, where she teaches Wernick Method Bluegrass Jam classes as well as performs in the duo and with The Freight Hoppers.
