After recording a bunch of scratch tracks in my home studio I decided in 2010 to achieve a lifelong dream of making a CD of my own music. I finished it in May of 2011 with the help of producer and musician Thomas Becker and the Record Shop in Hermitage. I really don't know where to take it from here, If you like my music let me know!
Why this name?
My real name is Frank Lamb. When I went to get an e-mail address at yahoo I found that frank.lamb and frank.lamm were both already taken, so I figured I'd show THEM a thing or two! Only later did I find out that Phranc is a famous Queercore/lesbian singer. Oh well, I'm kind of a lesbian too I guess...
Do you play live?
I currently play with a Nashville band called The Living. I don't sing much, just play guitar. I love to play out! I hit local songwriter nights and perform sometimes.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives people a great option to get their music out there, though its also very easy to get lost in the shuffle. I guess the really good ones stick out.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not... I am 51 years old and don't have the stamina to support the music by touring. I also seriously doubt they'd ever be interested in someone like me...
Band History:
I played in a fairly well known band on the gulf coast called UXB in the early 1980s. Played in a local cover band here in Nashville called Big FM for a couple of years. Started recording my own music in late 2010. Currently playing with an all original Nashville band "The Living"
