All good things flow from Levon Helm (including the Black Crowes!).

I have always been a huge Levon Helm fan. Anyone who thinks that The Band was about Robbie Robertson need only watch The Last Waltz to see and hear where the real soul was coming from. In recent years Mr. Helm has overcome throat cancer and recorded two of the best records of the last decade – check them out here and here.

Also recently, The Black Crowes recorded a live set of new material at Helm’s farmhouse/studio/concert venue in upstate NY, and it’s the best music they’ve made since their masterpiece The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion.

So much inspiring music. Rock and roll has no age limitations.

— FRANK LIVE (free show) Saturday, August 22nd at 6PM at The Compound!
— FRANK 8/21 National Underground show is CANCELLED

Hey everyone -

So our show on Friday 8/21 at The National Underground is cancelled. Let’s just call it a scheduling conflict and move on with our lives.

Instead, we’re playing a free early show on Saturday August 22nd at a really cool venue for a great cause! The Compound (check them out here or here) is a great outdoor party space on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn (see below for directions). It’s an all ages venue, and there’s going to be dance, music, giveaways, all kinds of stuff. We’re playing there as part of a fundraiser for BK Farmyards, a great company founded by our friend Stacey that works to promote sustainable living by transforming idle plots of land into farmyards.

The party runs from 3PM – Midnight. We’re supposed to play at 6PM SHARP. Come on out!

Here’s the details:
