Once a month on the 3rd Saturday we bring together 3 of the best local and regional musicians, and appreciative listeners to share an evening of music. For Saturday February 18, 2012, our 26th Free Performance night our performers are: Frank Costantino Frank Cos was raised on a steady diet of American rock music including strong influences from America, The Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Springsteen and of course, Bob Dylan, whose “Blood on the Tracks” album inspired him to learn how to play the guitar. Of all the influences he’s had, none have been stronger than his own brother, Joe Cos, who played and wrote songs that inspired Frank to do the same. Frank played in several NYC based bands in the late eighties and into the mid-nineties, with his last band, “Sweet Frankie” playing venues such as the Bitter End and Kenny’s Castaways frequently. His self-titled CD was finished in 1998 and after a year of supporting it on the local scene, Frank turned his attention to raising his children. He re-emerged on the open mic scene over a year ago as he began recording his new CD in his home studio titled “15 PPW,” an homage to his hometown of Brooklyn, NY and the Prospect Park west train station near his home. The new project has several tracks written by his brother, some older material from Frank as well as a couple of covers and new songs written for the CD. A multi-instrumentalist, Frank plays most instruments on the CD which is expected to be released in the late spring. Andy Zook
Hailing from Seattle, WA, indie folk singer/songwriter Andrew Patrick Zook sings in catchy melodies and plays guitar with passion and style that is familiar to an up and coming Northwest music scene. Such Northwest bands as Rocky Votolato, Fleet Foxes, and The Decemberists have left an imprint on Andrew, but don't pigeon hole him to stereotypical modern folkrock. With soulful style, Andrew suprises with unexpected rhythms and hymn-like poetry that recalls growing up in the Seattle area and feeling the influences of jazz musicians such as Quincey Jones and Ray Charles. All of this comes out in music unique to Zook that sounds a lot like The Swell Season, or a male verson of Feist that will explore ideas of isolation in longing, hope in humanity and a desire for grace. Check out Zook's recent album "Go Find Your Love" with his former Seattle band Sea Fever on facebook. Helen Avakian
