Frank Bell Solo Acoustic Album
Donation protected
About a month or so ago, I received a phone call from my good friend and fellow troubadour, Nate Taylor in Boston. Catching up as we do, the topic of new music came up...
Timeline:
2007 - I post a video of me performing an original song "The Penguin" on Youtube. It somehow makes it on the front page... get's over 800,000 views - in less than a few days. Mind BLOWN. Overwhelmed in the best of ways. I head to Toronto shortly afterwards in the middle of snowmageddon (or at least to me it seemed that way - not natural for the season) to knock out my debut EP "On Passion and Reason".
2010 - After traveling around the Americas, Canada, and Europe I eventually make Los Angeles my Home. Foster some lovely collaborations and friends for life, yet somehow I still feel alone. On a whim invitation from a wise dear friend, I find myself heading due north yet again. Montana it was! This incredible land upon me bestowed - So much so, I decided it needed an ode.
What started off as just a short breather, became something more - I did not want to leave her! Montana - the skies, long motorcycle rides - a place not at all difficult for inspiration to be found. Naturally impromptu, I started recording some sounds. The landscape, the people, the laid back pace led to my first full length album, "Everything Falls Into Place".
2017 - Many years passed. Many songs penned. It's time that this seven year sabbatical ends. The idea is to record acoustic, stripped down, and raw - No frills, no filler, nothing bourgeois. Like most creatve endeavors, it won't come free, the producing, recording, making of cd's; The travel, the mastering, the studio time, the inspirational lodging for peace of mind. The marketing and PR, to make sure that it's heard; The video documentation to help spread the word.
Ok... Wasn't sure how long I could have kept that rhyming up to be honest... That being said - I'd be eternally grateful for any thing you are able to contribute towards getting this project funded and helping make it the best it can be. I feel like I owe you all more music and I've definitely had a lot to say since the last album. Every tiny bit helps, and if you're not able to contribute financially, no worries! Feel free to share this page amongst those you think might also enjoy being apart of this :)
Thank you Thank You Thank YOU!
I'm excited! Keep spreading the love!
