About Me |
|
| Conceived in 1992 and slowly percolating up to this point is the band Tributary. Originating from the south of Detroit and revolving around singer songwriter artist Frank James English, Tributary at its heart embraces the direct simplicity of the solo acoustic minstrel tradition. Yet Tributary is an open collaborative effort as well and involves various artists while creating a wide variety of size, color and texture. Balancing the audible and visual, Frank has had a full career in the Fine Arts as well. It was in 1990 that his poetry began to find form as song. Armed with a Gibraltar Trade Center classical acoustic and 1965 Electra Electric he began crafting and covering. Gradually picked up doumbek and djembe drums and joined the great drum circle culture surge of the late 90’s and after, truly living the life of a creative spirit rambler. Was able to learn and play with some of the great local Detroit area folk artists in the tradition and beyond such as Raymo James, Rodriguez, Xavier Moore and Buford Jones... In 2001 the Tribal Fusion band Spirit Rising was created as a collaborative effort and often accompanied the rich incensed magic of Night Fire performances. Night Fire is an Ann Arbor based contemporary dance group. Now Brooklyn based artist Satchel Jones has contributed lead guitar on tracks Arkansas, Take My 45 and Fulsom Prison Shoes. Tributary is continuously flowing into new lands of artistic journey. | |
