Street Music Week is 6/10-6/15. I’ll be out there at least once. I will also be busking away whenever and wherever it works out. I will be at open Mic at the Riddler on some Tuesdays, and at ROMP on some weekends.

Please come and find me when the spirit and your schedule move you!  In the mean-time there are lots of Frankie oldies on this site, on YouTube.com, Patreon.com, CDbaby.com. allaroundthepiano.com, twitter, and Facebook.

I’ll try to keep you posted.

Thank you for Listening!

Frankie

Thanks to the super groovy people who hung out with me tonight at the Spokane MAC! You made my day.

If you missed me tonight, there’s good news…Tomorrow night I’ll be at the Old Mill Bar and Grill, Spokane Valley, with Friends of Gil Rivas  8-9pm.  After that, look for me back in Prince George’s County MD where the AROUND THE PIANO team will be integrating singing and character education, and I  will be performing live in venues to be determined.  Stay tuned for more Spring and Summer performances.  I hope to see you soon

Friends, let me tell you about a super cool way to spice up your week. The acoustics are amazing. The staff is totally groovy, and the singer they had this week! Ok it was me, but I had a blast singing in an amazing room in front of a picture window. I’ll be back soon, but I highly recommend you check out this free, arts experience!

Thanks again for sharing the stage, Gil et al

Music makes winter groovy!

Dwayne Perkins-in Cooperation with FrankieGhee.com- LLC presents: Another Frankie Valinda Ghee Creative Projects Fundraising Event to benefit AROUND THE PIANO/CHARACTER BUILDING SONGS. We will share live, 30 minute performances on FaceBook about twice a month. 12/14 is our second offering. Tune in at 7:00pm to support AROUND THE PIANO. Donations will be gratefully accepted at Frankieghee.com.

 Thank you for your support!!

Frankie will sing and read poetry, short stories and essays

We will take your request for songs for future concerts
Around the Piano/Character Building Songs for Teens and Preteens is an engaging resource for teachers and team leaders that promotes social, emotional and character development while improving climate through singing, lyric writing and discussion.
By intentionally integrating Music with Character Education in a way that naturally lends itself to integration with other curriculums, ATP can serve to restore music as a regular part of the day for every person in a school community.
Around the Piano works because of the beneficial qualities inherent in Music participation especially in group singing. The physiological and emotional health benefits of group singing as well as the academic benefits of music study have been well documented. Group singing leads to social confidence, builds empathy, enhances creative problem solving skills and leads to joy. With ATP, we use music exploration, discussion, lyric writing and singing to engineer safe places for people to share their ideas about what it means to “do the right thing,” and to foster a true collaborative learning community.

Thanks for an excellent evening of music.  This is one of the coolest venues and the most supportive audiences around.  Gil Rivas and the Ridler Family bring something truly special to Tuesdays in Spokane!
