Frank Christian is a consummate songwriting musician, renowned for his
virtuosic guitar playing. With guitar roots ranging from traditional
folk to acoustic blues, to big band guitar picking, Frank interweaves
his music with lyrics that reveal a richness of illusion and metaphor,
infused with irony and densely-textured imagery. His last album,
"Mister So & So" was cited as one of the top ten albums of 1997 by the
Boston Globe. Christian's work has been included on more than 50 albums,
and he's played and recorded with Nanci Griffith, Suzanne Vega,
Christine Lavin, John Gorka, Dave Van Ronk, The Smithereens, and Odetta,
just to name a few. His extensive tours throughout the United States and
Europe have included performances at Carnegie Hall and The Royal Albert
Hall.
"An accomplished guitarist and singer, Mr. Christian commands a wide variety of styles...
A distinctive stylist performing distinctive original material... Christian writes and sings
languid, blues-flavored songs that conjure up the New York bohemian life with a dreamy, understated sensuality.."-The New York Times
"One of Frank Christian's fortes is the ability to write new songs that sound like
standards--instant classics...One of New York's finest talents." -Boston Globe

Hey Frank :) Sorry I haven't called ya back yet... It was my birthday this weekend, so things were kinda crazy haha. Hope all is well with you. Do you have any free time to get together this week? If so let me know and I'll give you a call to set something up. Talk to you soon :) -Caitlin
Hey there! It’s Joanne from Jann Klose’s Street Team letting you know that Jann will be playing at Mexicali Live (www. mexicalilive. com) on September 4th. Hope you can make it! Thanks.
Hi Frank! It was a great pleasure playing with you last night. I will give you a ring in the near future and perhaps we can get together again soon. -Caity
Hey Frank :) You had mentioned the possibility of coming out to one of my shows. I just thought I'd give you the heads up that next Saturday, July 26th, I will be performing as a duo (me and my drummer, Ric Considine), at Desmond's Tavern in NYC. It is located at 433 Park Ave S (between 29 and 30th). I will be playing from 8-8:45 p.m. If you can't make it, no worries, there will be other shows, but I'd love to get the chance to meet you! Also, feel free to bring your axe. I would be honored, to say the least, to have you sit in. M.E. mentioned that you have done that on occasion and I would be extraordinarily obliged. Hope all is well. Have a great weekend! -Caitlin
Hi there! Thanks for the add :) My Dad (Mike Rodgers), said that he was at a party the other day with 'a successful NY based song writer named M.E. Morganteen.' He said that she might introduce me to one of her mentors, YOU! My Dad said that he had already contacted you via myspace on my behalf. He said, 'Frank is someone that you have to meet.' He told me to check out your page, and I did. Love your stuff. You are a great player. -Caity
Hey Frank- checking out how this Myspace thing works. Love your songs and I look forward to seeing you again soon and also looking forward to your show at Nightingale's.
