John Waite steps in for Lou Gramm
John Waite, the former frontman for The Babys and Bad English dedicated his performance at Fraze SummerFest 10 to Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm (see here for more). During his set Waite played hits that included “Missing You” and “When I See You Smile” that saw a robust Fraze crowd respond to both his charm and his sound.
For being a last minute addition to the bill, Waite and his four-piece backing band played the heck out of their material. His look and stage presence reminded me very much (fans don’t take this the wrong way because it’s meant in the best way …) of Hugh Grant’s character in the film “Music and Lyrics.” Waite wrapped things up with a energetic rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Rock N’ Roll” wrapping his set up at 9:30 p.m. almost exactly.
Nine bands down, one to go. If you’ve been to Fraze today, feel free to share your favorite moments here.

all in all the bands were pretty good ,although I could have done without John Waite’s Zeppelin tune ! :) BUT, why the heck was there NO food available!! LaRosa’s Pizza (@$3.00 a slice)for an ALL DAY event is pretty lame !! VERY POOR planning on Fraze’s and FM107.7’s part for sure !!! Seems it would have been a GREAT opp. for food vendor’s to set up shop???; I’ll remember that next time…
