Ever since Peter Frank first picked up a guitar, he’s never really put it down (except when he’s playing the saxophone), moving between genres and roles in different bands his whole life. Now he’s playing mostly solo, creating stripped down and direct songs that portray the ups and downs of life and interesting characters you meet along the way. Peter’s music is a mix of mostly originals plus some of his favorite covers, blurring the lines between Americana, bluegrass, country, and rock’n’roll.
His first solo album "Comin Back Around" was released in 2018 and his second album "Rosie" was released in 2024. He is currently writing and recording songs for his third album and performing regularly. He has performed in venues all across NYC such as The Triad Theater, The Cutting Room, The Bitter End, The Delancey, Carroll Place, Silvana’s, and more.
