Biography
Rhett Frazier Inc. is an American R&B/Soul band composed of artist-producer Donny Gruendler (better known as Inc.) and lead vocalist, lyricist and guitarist Rhett Frazier. RFI compose and create as a duo, but they are joined by a full band on tour.
The band's instantly catchy grooves have already earned them a respectable amount of praise from those in the know. DJ A-Ski described them as 'a combination of Funkadelic, Rare Earth, Flaming Ember, Frank Zappa and Al Green rolled into one along with that raw, gritty Detroit sound that would make the late, great Norman Whitfield proud.' LA Examiner's Patrick Hamilton declared that Escape from Dee-Troyt 'takes Stax-era guitar licks, blues attitude and 70s R&B crossover appeal and blends it into a tasty milkshake of auditory heaven,' while Dusty Grooves America said the album has 'a classic sound…that reminds us of some of our favorite blue-eyed funky rock from way back.'
Following the success of their first album, Escape From Dee-Troyt, Gruendler and Frazier continue to use modern textures alongside classic soul leanings and a cinematic use of space. Their follow-up release "Every Day Is Saturday", is slated to be released on January 10th, 2012.
