Frank Vieleās brand of New England blues rock tugs at the heartstrings, pulling the listener on a surprise journey that transcends genre. Yet even as heās racked up accolades over the past 7 years ā including New England Music Awards for Album of the Year, Male Performer of the Year, Songwriter of The Year (X2), and Live Act of The Year for gutsy, gritty tracks like āBroken Love Songā and āāTil The Bourbonās All Goneā ā heās rarely paused to savor the moment before moving on to yet another tour, album, or collaboration.
It wasnāt until the pandemic hit in early 2020 and he was forced to hunker down that Viele realized that time itself was the worldās most precarious, yet precious, resource. At that time, Viele embarked on a writing-and-recording journey with Jimmy Nutt (Jason Isbell, American Aquarium, The Dead South) and James LeBlanc (Travis Tritt, Will Hoge, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Dylan LeBlanc, Kid Rock, Rascal Flatts) of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Within this co-writing collaborative partnership, Viele approached each new song slowly, intentionally, and with an open mind, challenging himself to transcend the limits of genre and industry expectations. In 2021, a handful songs that he had started recording in Connecticut, and finished at Nutthouse Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, were brought to life in the 2021 EP āTime Is A Thief.ā This EP won him the coveted New England Music Award for āSongwriter of The Yearā for the second time and acted as a prequel to Vieleās upcoming full-length 2023 album. In January 2023, the first track off Vieleās forthcoming, 13-song album completed in Nutthouse Recording Studios, āHearts We Left Behindā, came out in January of 2023 and was featured on Bostonās Country 102.5 as their āSong Of The Weekā. āHeartsā continues to receive critical acclaim citing Vieleās strength as a storyteller and his signature vocal delivery. āFrank Viele continues to astound with his new single entitled āHearts We Left Behindā and has once again crafted a classic. Viele is a consummate wordsmith. His songs contain magic dust capable of spinning webs of musical ecstasy.ā (MyAmpMusic.co) The āmagic dustā they are referring to has been gathered from experiences on the road and in venues across the country.
Viele built his sound and narrated his journey while constantly touring the United States, playing hundreds of shows each year and sharing the stage with artists such as John Waite, Jeffrey Gaines, Lee DeWyze, Zach Myers of Shinedown, Bob Marleyās Wailers, Howie Day, Xavier Rudd, Ingrid Michaelson, Tony Lucca, Pat McGee, and Blues Traveler, among others, since the release of his first solo album in 2015. But Frank Vieleās musical journey starts long before that⦠Fondly listening to his grandmother play piano as a child and later reinvigorated as a teenager inspired by his older brotherās taste in music and an acoustic guitar he left behind when he moved to the West Coast, Viele developed a deep appreciation for a wide range of genres including rock, blues, folk, and country. He began writing his own music as a teenager and quickly developed a knack for crafting deeply personal and emotive songs that spoke to the human experience. After honing his craft fronting New York City based Jam/Funk/Rock Outfit āFrank Viele & The Manhattan Projectā, Viele released his debut solo album āFall Your Wayā in 2015, which was met with critical acclaim including 2 New England Music Awards for Album of The Year and Male Performer of The Year. (On top of the Live Act of The Year Award he had received in 2014). Stacking up additional accolades on the road in 2016, Frank Viele won the Deli Magazine award for āNew Englandās Best Emerging Folk/Soul Actā. He then released his second solo album, āWhatās His Name?ā which made itās way onto the AMA Charts and Relix National Jam Radio Charts carried by the single, āPomegranateā. The Album, āWhatās His Name?ā won Frank Viele the New England Music Award for āSongwriter of The Yearā which paved this Connecticut musicianās path to Muscle Shoals, Alabama where he began the next chapter of his writing and recording journey.
Vieleās music is characterized not only by his powerful vocals, soulful guitar playing, and poignant lyrics, but also its deep honesty. This is an artist who is not afraid of wearing his heart on his sleeve, and dig deep into the joys and struggles of life. He has been praised for his ability to blend elements of folk, blues, and rock into a unique sound that is both timeless and contemporary. Over the years, Viele has built a dedicated fanbase thanks to his dynamic live performances and his ability to connect with his audience on a deeply personal level. With several albums under his belt and a growing reputation as one of the most exciting voices in Americana music, Frank Viele continues to push the boundaries of what it means to be a modern singer-songwriter. Whether heās performing on stage or in the studio, he approaches his music with a passion and intensity that is infectious, making more and more folks take noticeā¦one stage at a time.
Brandon Good and Frank Viele bring together two distinct voices rooted in soulful songwriting, gritty storytelling, and dynamic live performance. With Brandonās sharp lyrical edge and Frankās bluesādriven Americana sound, the duo delivers a powerful, heartfelt set that blends authenticity, humor, and musicianship.
