Talent Development
Over the years Frank has developed many young acts. He discovered “THE HAZIES”, a band from Tampa, Florida, which he signed to EMI Records. That partnership yielded two Top Ten singles at Mainstream and Active rock from their debut album “VINNIE SMOKIN IN THE BIG ROOM”. “SKIN & BONES”, and “TRIP FREE LIFE” were both favorites among rock radio programmers.
Frank recorded and produced OUTHOUSE for Mercury Records. The debut album “WELCOME”, was well received by rock radio and the title song climbed to Twenty-eight with a bullet on Billboards’ Mainstream Rock charts.
Both “THE HAZIES” and “OUTHOUSE” were recorded at ThunderCreek which is located in an 1810 barn on ten acres in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts. Along with a 6,000 square foot 1810 farmhouse containing a separate wing for visiting artists, it provides the perfect environment for creating.
Frank continues to enjoy seeking out and developing new talent . He is now accepting new projects to collaborate on in a variety of ways, including production, mixing and engineering.
