Frank Patrick

About Me

From the forests of British Columbia to the deserts of Arizona to the Big Sur coast, from Toronto to Shanghai to Hawaii, Frank Patrick answers the call of creation and speaks from his heart and soul. Love, loss, politics, joie de vivre... humanity in all its folly and beauty spring from his deep, deep well.
A true original, this is Frank Patrick.
Known to many as the frontman & lyricist of ZomboZombo, Frank has just completed his debut solo CD, "Worlds In Transition". Produced by Rob Greenway and Frank, mixed by master producer/engineer Terry Brown and featuring an intergalactic lineup of musicians, "Worlds in Transition" is a unique and engaging collection of original songs, borne of love, pain and struggle, all held aloft by the infectiously positive spirit of Frank Patrick. Fusing elements of folk, world, rock, blues and even a little ska (!), "Worlds in Transition" includes performances by Kevin Breit, Ian de Souza, Hugh Marsh, Kathryn Rose, Lee Whalen, Mia Sheard, Russ Boswell, Kevin Hearn, Ed Hanley, Rachel Smith, Neil Chapman, Rick Hyslop, Rakesh Tewari, Mark Mariash, Brent Titcomb and John Jowett. "Worlds in Transition" is available now from IndiePool.com or at the iTunes Store and MySpace listeners can hear a few tracks from the album right here!
The big Worlds CD launch is happening May 4th in Toronto! (May the 4th be with you...!) The band is going to be a fantastic all-star lineup of the best musicians ANYwhere and we're all really excited. Check the gig listing here for details.
