- The Frost
The Frost were an American
psychedelic rock band fromAlpena, Michigan in the late 1960s, led by singer-guitaristDick Wagner , who went on to play with Ursa Major,Lou Reed , andAlice Cooper in the 1970s.The bassist was Gordy Garris, drummer was Bob Rigg, Rhythm and Lead Guitarist was Don Hartman.
The Frost recorded three albums for
Vanguard Records , "Frost Music", "Rock and Roll Music", and "Through the Eyes of Love." All three albums, plus a 'best of' compilation album,are available on CD from Vanguard Records.The Frost were one of the top Detroit area bands of the era, however very poor album cover artwork, distribution and promotion by Vanguard hampered the band and caused them to miss the national success that other Detroit bands like
Bob Seger andGrand Funk Railroad were to achieve.There have been several Frost reunion concerts over the years, especially while Dick Wagner still lived and performed in Michigan. The reunions have included Wagner, Hartman and Rigg.
