Frank Hurricane – SPIRITUAL MOUNTAIN SHRYMP BLUES AND FOLK
“Through many years of relentless road-dogging, Hurricane has ascended to legendary status on the DIY touring circuit while receiving almost no attention from music media. I had the pleasure of seeing him twice in 2024… It’s possible that these were the two best live sets I witnessed all year.” – Andy Cush
“The positivity that spins throughout Life is Spiritual oozes an off-kilter charm . . . Honestly, some of the most open-hearted songwriting I’ve heard in a long time.” -NPR Music
“You can’t throw a roach clip out the driver’s side window these days without hitting a finger-picking guitarist, but you can’t throw a star across the galaxy and hit anything like Frank Hurricane, and with those odds, how can you refuse?” – Matt Krefting
“So where, exactly, are we going with this? It’s a question you can’t shake from your mind when you first listen to Frank Hurricane’s hazy Appalachian folk album Life is Spiritual. As you attempt to decipher his off-kilter musings, it eventually becomes clear – you just have to let go. This isn’t a maddening situation, but rather freeing, actually, as you ride shotgun with Hurricane through his whimsical psychedelic trip. And at times, that can get pretty strange man.” -Washington Post
Mark Adams Son of Bill consists of vocalist/guitarist Mark Adams, bassist Simon Beno, and drummer Spencer Powers. They play grungy rock inspired by alternative music of the 90’s and have been a band for about nearly a decade.
Adams explained, “I started with doing solo stuff under the name. Mark Adams felt like a boring name so I tacked on the “Son of Bill” to sound like a death notice-rock ‘n roll cliche. Then about ten years ago, Spencer Powers started drumming with me and then we became a three-piece when Simon Beno came along. For me, I’m definitely stuck in 91′ or 92’ as far as influences go; I hate technology and hate the Internet – I still have a flip phone but would prefer not to have one at all.”
