Michael Frank & Friends is a 4-6 piece mix of friends/musicians that mix many different influences that include electric/acoustic rock, acoustic rock, reggae, jam, blues, bluegrass, and just about anything else! The sound has been described in local area news publications as "very smooth and experienced". With an original sound that is new and unique, yet comfortably familiar all at the same time. The music is great for dancing and singing along to, and will surely leave you whistling and humming away. The live show usually includes several improvisational jams, which sets Michael Frank & Friends apart from the rest, with their undeniable ability to play in the moment, and taking each song to a different place each time.
The band formed in the summer of 2008 to record "Yellow Rays" at Hilltop Studios in Bangor, PA. The debut album is a mix of acoustic songs that were written and performed by Michael at local weekly Open Mic events throughout NJ/PA. The idea behind Yellow Rays was to put together an album with musicians found at these local Open Mic and jam sessions.
Several songs from "Yellow Rays" are played on local college and public radio stations throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The album can also be purchased for download at several online web music outlets including iTunes, Amazon.com, and cdbaby.com.
Michael Frank & Friends continues to build their fan base throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and are currently in the studio, recording their sophomore album “You Take The High Road”, due to be released in 2011.
