About Me

Hey! I'm Frankie. I'm a 26 year old guy who loves to play, sing, and write music. I'm into rockin' country with a lot of guitar:) I love everything about guitars, the way they're built, the different sounds, everything! I live in Nashville Tennesse, but I was born in Battle Creek Michigan. In my spare time I like to work out, play pool, and gamble on random things. I am incredibly competitive! I have two sisters. One older (Lela) and one younger (Breana). My parents have been married 31 years, and still live in the same house I was born in (which I think is awesome). I played baseball and soccer as a kid. I went on to play baseball in college for Western Michigan University. I eventually graduated:) after 6 years with a communications degree. I don't know what else to tell you, but if you have any questions...please send me a message or a comment, and I'll do my best to hustle you back an answer. I'm also on Facebook and Twitter (FrankieBallard is my username). So please stay in touch with me!! I love my fans and I thank you all for your support. Can't wait to play for you again!!God Bless!
