Frank Williamson
I'm a singer/songwriter living in the San Diego area. My music is a blend of country/rock/folk/blues and even a little jazz. I try to write songs that "move" with lyrics you can kick around in your head and enjoy.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been writing songs for a while now. Pretty much ever since I learned to play the guitar. Playing and writing are a couple of the few things I've stuck with over the years. I like to think that I've improved as time has gone by.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live in coffeehouses around the San Diego area. Live music is really intense. I usually do a three hour gig with a short break. I don't like taking breaks but the guys in my band seem to need it. I'm not one of those "storyteller" types who talks for 10 minutes between tunes. I admire those guys tremendously but I like to get right to the songs.
Your musical influences
Influences? There's a bunch: Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, Roger Miller, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Chuck Berry, Little Richard....
Anything else?
If you stop by and listen to something, drop me a line and let me know how you liked it. I love to hear from listeners!
