About Me

Songwriting has always been Frank’s blessing and his curse. As songwriters know, any sane person wouldn’t “choose” songwriting as a way of life. The muse chooses them. Life with his wife and step-daughter took Frank’s focus away from music for many years. He devoted his life toward assisting his daughter in her dream of playing professional tennis. By 15, she had already played the US Open and established herself on the Pro tour. Now that she is in college, Frank has re- ignited his passion for songwriting. He can be seen performing Americana/Country Rock acoustic showcases around Southern California, Nashville and in the fall of 2007; on a tour of Germany.Highlights of Frank’s music career include: Signed as the singer/songwriter of the LA band Pollyanna to Nymphonic Records in 1994. (The self titled debut was released nationally and internationally); Two of the six songs written by Frank’ were released as singles; Toured clubs and colleges across the country ; Received airplay on LA radio stations ROQ 106.7 , KLSX97.1 and several college stations nationwide; Performed in concert with the 70”s super group “America”; The South American Music Magazine LA FACTORIA DEL RITMO reported “Frank possesses a soulful, expressive voice, and writes songs ala Lennon/McCartney”; LA Rock Review quoted “Great Original Music”; and TAXI quoted “An amazing voice any songwriter would kill for”.In the fall of 2006, Frank founded Songwriters "Live". The unplugged concert series has featured the industries top hit writers along with some of the best undiscovered artists from across the country.
