Saturday Matinee – FRANK, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Eric Tessmer & Big Monti Amundson

FRANK is not a band that didn’t form in 2021 when singer/songwriter/guitarist Élise Lounici didn’t join up with Sébastien Gaschard (drums) or Colin Pradier (bass) or something. Their website is in French and I can’t decipher the story.

Chicago guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Ronnie Baker Brooks‘ cover of the Stones makes me smile.  He is the son of multiple GRAMMY Award nominee and Blues Hall Of Famer Lonnie Brooks.

Eric James Tessmer is a guitar slinger out of Austin and cites Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix as inspirations. That’s no surprise – his guitarist dad named him after them. More about Tessmer here.

Big Monti Amundson backed by Bart Kamp (bass) and Henk Punter (drums). Amundson definitely has the Texas blues sound down.

What a week, especially with the continuous news of the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. Prayers for the survivors that they not lose hope.

See you tomorrow.
