Release Notes:
Originally from Chicago, IL, Frank began playing
guitar and writing songs in high school. During the
1980's, Frank co-founded the band Childhood's End,
which gigged regularly throughout the Chicago area
until breaking up in 1991.
Frank continued to hone his guitar and songwriting
skills with the acquisition of a 4-track tape
recorder. In 1995, he relocated to Edinboro, PA, and
in 1999 he recorded his first CD, FOUL WEATHER
FRIEND.
After the release of FOUL WEATHER FRIEND, Frank took
his trusty Gibson and began playing acoustic gigs
throughout northwest Pennsylvania to support the CD.
During the summer of 2001, Frank began recording for
what would eventually become his follow-up CD.
Frank recorded on and off for the next five years,
playing 6- and 12-string guitar, bass, dobro,
mandolin, keyboards, and percussion. By the end of
2006 he had assembled enough material for another
CD, BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME.
The music on BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME is a cheerful
hodge-podge of Beatlesque pop-rock, ballads, doo-
wop, and folk, tackling such diverse subjects as
romance, city life, divorce and single motherhood.
Frank's songs have been described as "Beatlesque
pop-rock with unusual chord changes and a wry sense
of humor." Audiences throughout the tri-state region
(northwest Pennsylvania, northeast Ohio, and western
New York) have responded enthusiastically to Frank's
distinctive vocal style, superb musicianship, and
warm stage presence.
As influences, Frank cites artists from the 60's and
70's like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Klaatu,
"bands with a real emphasis on songwriting." In
addition to his solo recordings, Frank has also
contributed to the musical efforts of the Vinyl
Goods, Marty Rice, and Paul Gall.
Frank realized one of his greatest ambitions in
2002, when he got the chance to play at the Baggot
Inn in New York City. Otherwise, Frank's aspirations
are simple: to take his music as far as it will go.
"If I'm capable of playing Carnegie Hall, then I
want to do that. If the best I can do is a street
corner in Edinboro, PA, then I'll do that, too."
