Frank Viele’s brand of New England blues rock tugs at the heartstrings, pulling the listener on a surprise journey that transcends genre. The Silo EP, being released on Frank’s own Bigger Beast records (a label started to support and highlight some of Frank’s favorite artists, collaborators, and friends), serves as the next step in this artist’s journey. Over the past decade, Frank has racked up accolades — including New England Music Awards for Independent Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Male Performer of the Year, Songwriter of The Year (twice), and Live Act of The Year for gutsy, gritty tracks like “Broken Love Song” and “‘Til The Bourbon’s All Gone” — and he has rarely paused to savor the moment before moving on to yet another tour, album, or collaboration. It wasn’t until the pandemic hit in early 2020 and he was forced to hunker down that Viele realized that time itself was the world’s most precarious, yet precious, resource.
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 The Silo and several albums under his belt, along with a growing reputation as one of the most exciting voices in folk/Americana music, Frank Viele continues to push the boundaries of what it means to be a modern singer-songwriter. Whether he’s 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 notice… one stage at a time.
ABOUT THE OPENER: Over the course of a prolific 40+ year career, 32 releases and 17 solo albums, Rees Shad has crafted music that is both poignant and profound. He approaches songwriting wit the delicacy and precision of a novelist, building entire worlds through carefully crafted characters, perspectives, and emotional landscapes. Every record feels like its own universe, bound together by remarkable empathy, fearless curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to the craft..
