Influences

I have been singing and playing guitar since I can remember. I was in bands in upper Michigan for about 20 years on and off. You can hear me sing by searching Frank Childress, The Slamtones or Blue Sky Revival on Youtube. I like to play blues and classic rock type stuff. I also like some country and folk music. My strength is my vocals however I also play lead guitar in a rock band. I am up for original music and have studio experience and have produced and recorded original music. I have also played Bass guitar in a few bands. I fancy myself a solid player and learn new material fast. I also have a body of original music. https://soundcloud.com/frank-childress
