Description

Although a relatively new addition to the roster of performers on gigmasters Frank Persico is no stranger to live perfomance and has been performing for more than 15 years. He graduated from New York City's famous High School of Performing Arts and then attended Manhattan School of Music and the Aaron Copland School before playing music full time.

An accomplished singer songwriter in his own rite Frank has played his music to sold out crowds at the well respected BB Kings in Times Square. He has also recently released his debut album entitled "The Reminder," which is available on iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon.

What makes an evening of music with Frank Persico unique is the artistry that he brings into the songs he sings. Rather than playing a watered down acoustic version of a song; Frank delivers the intangibles –the soul of the song which makes for a truly special listening experience. It is Frank's musical soul that permeates through to all the songs he performs whether they are his own or a cover of someone elses. The influences of his heroes (Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Carole King, James Taylor, Al Green to name just a few) are evident in his style and musical delivery. He covers a large amount of the most popular and loved songs from the 60's up through today. Upon request he can also perform some original tunes for an especially unique experience.

"I love to play music; I love the way it makes me feel and the way it makes the people around me feel. I thank you for taking the time to stop by and for considering me for your event. Music is such a critical part of what makes us human and when done right it can take a special event and make it even more special. Being on Gigmasters has been an excellent experience. I hope to play at your special event and promise you will not be disappointed.
All the best" …Frank

Feedback

  • Frank was amazing! He is so professional and talented. He played at my husbands surprise 30th birthday party and everyone raved about him! I think he must have booked 5 more parties last night alone. Frank arrived at the party 2 hours early to set up, he went over the play list with me, and he played for 4 hours. His music and singing were above and beyond. I listened to a lot of different musicians before booking Frank and I know I made the right choice. He sang everything from the Bealtes to the Counting Crows and he truly rocked each song! I look forward to more parties with Frank! -- Marisa V, Norwood, NJ, 10/28/2011
  • Frank was professional, extremely talented and made my birthday party a huge success. I would highly recommend him to anyone. -- Gillean R, Danbury, CT, 11/5/2011
  • Frank was terrific...his flexibility made the party a success. His voice is terrific...he was social...and I hope he will put us on his calendar for next year. -- Paula S, Freeport, NY, 12/3/2011
  • Frank was an absolute perfect fit for our wedding reception. Friendly, professional, and extremely talented he was a big hit for the diverse audience. We'd highly recommend Frank and look forward to working with him again. -- Matt R, Philadelphia, PA, 1/21/2012
  • Frank was amazing. He kept the crowd engaged the entire party. He arrived early to set up, brought just the right equipment for the size room and played 3 solid sets that were enjoyed by all ages at the party. I want to thank Frank for his professionalism and the great sets. His own music is amazing. I never expected such a great response from my guests as I did not hear one complaint. I would recommend Frank for any event big or small. A special thanks from my wife as you made her very special night even more special that we could have imagined. -- Ed T, Wallingford, CT, 3/24/2012
