SPECIAL NOTE: We are pleased to present Singer/Songwriter Sawyer Fredericks debut performance at The Packing House! Fredericks gained national recognition at 16 when he won Season 8 of “The Voice”. Fredericks continues to evolve as an artist, blending folk, rock, and blues influences to create music that is authentic. This intimate performance will have you wanting more!
Americana singer-songwriter, SAWYER FREDERICKS, hailing from a farm in central New York, began playing local farmers markets, open mics, and iconic New York venues at the age of 13. With his deep, beyond-his-years original lyrics and melodies, soulful vocals, and powerful live performances, Sawyer seemed an unlikely match for reality tv, but he won over audiences to win season 8 of NBC's The Voice.
Fredericks released his major label debut, A Good Storm, with Republic Records, an impressive blend of soulful Folk, blues, and rock, entirely self or co-written. He chose to go independent for Hide Your Ghost (2018). Fully written and produced by Fredericks, HYG sheds the high gloss major label treatment and stays true to his honest stripped-down style.
With premieres in People Magazine, American Songwriter and Billboard, Fredericks released his 4th album, Flowers For You in May 2020. Two songs from Flowers For You won top awards from the 18th annual Independent Music Awards, "Born" in the Folk/Singer-Songwriter category and "Amen" the Vox Pop award in the Social Action Song category. “Born” was in rotation on SiriusXM’s Coffee House channel and included in Amazon Music's editorial 'Fresh Folk and Americana' playlist.
Fredericks continues to evolve as an artist, blending folk, rock, and blues influences to create music that is authentic. He’s been featured in People Magazine, American Songwriter, and Billboard, and has showcased at Folk Alliance, SxSW, Americana Fest and BMI Island Hopper Songwriter Fest.
In January 2021, Sawyer released his rendition of the iconic “What A Wonderful World” with an accompanying animated video.
Sawyer released The Golden Tree EP in March 2023, featuring his band and Sav Buist and Katie Larson of The Accidentals. On Earth Day 2025, Sawyer released his folk-rock album, No Need To Wonder, that explores themes of home, environmental responsibility and social change. His fourth independent album reflects his deep connection to nature and personal storytelling.
Whether performing solo or with his band, Sawyer remains committed to creating music that resonates deeply with listeners.
