Wednesday July 30 – FRANK STALLONE

"I just heard the album you did with Billy May and it knocked my socks off. Salute.” ~Frank Sinatra

Grammy and Golden Globe nominated artist Frank Stallone is one of the most versatile singers and musicians in the business. His range from rock to blues to big band leaves audiences captivated. Frank has garnered three Platinum Albums, ten Gold Albums ...and five Gold Singles, and has acted in over 60 films and TV shows. One of his most memorable on-screen appearances is his role as Eddie The Bartender in “Barfly,” which was touted by critic Roger Ebert: “Barfly is a terrific film that features an outstanding performance by Frank Stallone.”

Frank has written and published over 200 songs and, with the addition of "Don’t Want to Fight With Me" from The Expendables 2, has written and recorded compositions for nine films, including Rocky I, II and III, Rambo II, Paradise Alley and Over the Top, but, it was Frank's nine songs that he wrote and recorded for the Saturday Night Fever sequel, Staying Alive, that earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Sound Track and a Grammy nomination for Best Original Song with his single, "Far From Over." That song became a massive number 1 hit around the world and stayed on the top charts for more than four months.

Frank has recorded nine solo albums receiving praise from legends Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Sammy Cahn. His rock-influenced Full Circle, “which I feel is my best,” was followed by his American songbook albums, In Love in Vain, with Sammy Nestico, Stallone on Stallone by Request, a compilation of Frank's film soundtrack tunes, and Songs from the Saddle, showing Frank’s more acoustic side. He’s a big fan favorite in Australia and he performs in concert halls, theaters and clubs all around the world, gaining critical acclaim wherever he goes “he has the crowd enthralled” (New York Daily News). $25 cover.
