In 2015 Albert Frost’s impressive 21-year stint with the Blues Broers came to an end, having toured and recorded five albums with them.
April 2016 saw the release of his much anticipated third solo album, The Wake Up, which, according to Frost, signals the “start of a new journey” for him. In a departure from Frost’s blues roots, The Wake Up explores various musical avenues and lyrical content to create something he says will surprise and excite his fans. The album won the coveted Best Rock Album category at the 2017 SAMA Awards.
He has recorded with Arno Carstens, Koos Kombuis, Chris Chameleon, Blues Broers, and many others. He has performed with every major artist in South Africa, and with international artists like Ali Farka Toure and Finley Quaye. He has toured with Simple Minds and REM, and supported the Rolling Stones.
“The dark prince of South African blues.”
