-------------------------seventy eight Add 78 to My Profile ------------------------------------------------------- -------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- playing a mix of original folk and blues, frank martyn hammers three, four or eight beat shuffles and ballads into melodic fiction. A native of Boston, he now lives in Providence. With a dream as big as Rhode Island and soul of a well-kempt poet, he mines Downcity alleys, East Side cafes and the heart of Olneyville for slivers of light. |
