About Frankly Speaking
This 14 piece big band has been a dream project of mine for many years and just like some of my biggest idols. I am so blessed to have the hardest swinging band to back the vocals and share this great music. We have also added a smaller combo which features the rhythm section (piano, bass, drums), vocals and two horns so we are able to bring this incredible music to some of the smaller venues.
We hope you will enjoy listening just as much as we enjoy playing this music, hope to see you soon!
