Often featured on National Public Radio, Frank and Vinny have become familiar figures on Public Television. Their own PBS special, Four Generations of Guitars premieres in the 2014-15 season as part of the forthcoming 13 episode series Music Gone Public, where they will be joined by guitarists Bucky Pizzarelli and Tony Emmanuel and violinist Joe Craven.
A typical performance takes the audience on a whirlwind tour of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, freely mixed with Ellington and Waller, blended with Gershwin and Carmichael, peppered with Bob Marley, Sting and Lennon/ McCartney, and seasoned with Rodrigo and Lecuona.
Although the gentlemen laughingly describe themselves as “the Abbott and Costello of the
guitar” they actually uphold the fine tradition of musical humor as offered by Victor Borge,
Anna Russell, PDQ Bach and even the Marx Brothers.
