Cleveland R&B crooner Alvin Frazier grew up listening to Northeast Ohio funk icons the Dazz Band. Now he’s a member of the Grammy-winning group.

But when he’s not letting it whip with the Dazz Band, Frazier’s got a solo career and a brand new album. Alvin Frazier shares songs from his new recording, “River,” for Applause Performances Friday, November 12 at noon.

Hosted by David C. Barnett, Applause Performances is Ideastream Public Media’s monthly online spotlight for musicians living and creating in Northeast Ohio.

Ideastream Public Media is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
