about

Frank Solivan II is a singer of power and passion, a writer whose articulate songs go straight to the heart, and a multi-instrumentalist who combines the pure, hard drive of classic bluegrass with twenty-first century sophistication.

Now, in 2006, Franks new CD, Selfish Tears, shows that hes ready to run with the big dogs, with music that can be as unstoppable as a fierce arctic storm, or as poignant as a wildflowers struggle to break through the snows left from winter. Franks self-produced debut recording, I Am A Rambler, proved a hit with listeners and DJs alike, despite limited distribution through his own label, Fiddlemon Music. In the Alaska Public Radio Networks Song Of The Year contest four of Franks original songs from the album -Day to Day, Dirty Kitchen, A Mothers Hand, and I Am A Rambler-placed in the top of their respective categories.

His new project, Selfish Tears, is a worthy follow-up. Frank penned eight of the CDs eleven tracks, and hi
