Frank Christian is a consummate songwriting musician, renowned for his
virtuosic guitar playing. With guitar roots ranging from traditional
folk to acoustic blues, to big band guitar picking, Frank interweaves
his music with lyrics that reveal a richness of illusion and metaphor,
infused with irony and densely-textured imagery. His last album,
"Mister So & So" was cited as one of the top ten albums of 1997 by the
Boston Globe. Christian's work has been included on more than 50 albums,
and he's played and recorded with Nanci Griffith, Suzanne Vega,
Christine Lavin, John Gorka, Dave Van Ronk, The Smithereens, and Odetta,
just to name a few. His extensive tours throughout the United States and
Europe have included performances at Carnegie Hall and The Royal Albert
Hall.
"An accomplished guitarist and singer, Mr. Christian commands a wide variety of styles...
A distinctive stylist performing distinctive original material... Christian writes and sings
languid, blues-flavored songs that conjure up the New York bohemian life with a dreamy, understated sensuality.."-The New York Times
"One of Frank Christian's fortes is the ability to write new songs that sound like
standards--instant classics...One of New York's finest talents." -Boston Globe
