Subscribe Unsubscribe Regular joes and their wills making something that is once in a lifetime, whether it lasts 4 months or 40 years. It’s a band whose chemistry might never be reproduced. Based on the philosophy of Cleveland foreman Earl Brown, "You can teach anybody to do anything, but you can’t teach an a**hole not to be an a**hole."__________ Our Story: j Scott Franklin was laid off in 2004 and began to tour the country as a solo artist with a loop pedal, a trumpet, guitar and a Saturn he logged 12,000 miles in 2005 sleeping primarily in his Saturn and playing a unique blend of rock/country/jazz. Uncommon Ground in Chicago asked him to be a part of the 2006 Cash Bash, provided he could learn "One Piece at a Time". A few months before the show, he saw Rob Franklin Music perform at Mike’s Barn in Ohio (a barn owned by Mike). Scott was mezmerized by the natural talent of Rob who had grown up in his Grandpa’s traveling gospel band. Lost State of Franklin was born and would travel to do the Cash Bash together. At Rob’s suggestion, Scott booked a week of shows to get out to Chicago and back. With so many shows, maybe they could use a bass player, but not just any bass, Rob said, an upright bass. Scott knew David Mooser, a retired rock bassist who was born in Switzerland, raised in London and residing in Cleveland. David had an upright in his closet that he’d hardly ever touched and had no background in country music. However, it was magic when they got together (work, but magic). Lost State of Franklin became a materialized dream with experience from two continents and Scott’s lyrics rooted in working class America and southern memories. _________ **Rhia Wisniewski-Heavy metal keyboardist who got a mandolin for Christmas. Her vocals and mandolin are an integral part of our current sound **Ron Tucker-art rock drummer who grew up listening to Cash and plays most of our Cleveland area shows **Stuart Tucker-a staple in the detroit music scene who joins us when we get up there **Tyler Postma-Stage actress/vocalist from Mobile, Alabama who joins us for back up vocals and duets **Chris Bober-Detroit jazz guitarist who lays down mean country electric bass and helped us get started |

Sounds Like: "Instead of being a mirage like so many of the new country artists are - here but not really here... plastic and gooey (shapeable by what the industry wants us to see and hear - the mirage part), you are the oasis, the real thing!" -Lisa Horngren, current bassit of The Tennessee Three Lost State of Franklin Quarter to Lonely By D.X. Ferris Published: January 24, 2007Quarter to Lonely plays like the work of three good ol' boys and a gal who spend their weekends spinning Johnny Cash and watching A Fistful of Dollars. Plunking and twanging, guitarist Rob Franklin Muzick lays down a locomotive lick on the opener, "Clint Eastwood," while singer J. Scott Franklin lionizes Dirty Harry. Like the gunslinger, Franklin's not really a cowboy, but he plays the part just as well.Franklin tells us he's been shot in Alabama and passed out in New Orleans. His riding partners have seen some scenes too. Upright bassist David Mooser draws inspiration from London psychobilly, and he helps the band cut a rug on "600 Miles" -- but he's just as comfortable playing old-timey country. Singer Tyler Postma gives a soft touch to "Cold Day," a slow-dance saloon ballad that rivals anything in Neko Case's songbook. Saddle up and check it out Type of Label: None |
