Saturday: Bain & Frankie at Sarasota Vineyard
Arriving at Sarasota Vineyard in downtown Sarasota last night to hear Bain Beakley play solo, we had a double surprise to find a rockin' duo at the front of the house. Sharing the stage with Bain was Frankie Lombardi on guitar and vocals. Familiar with Frankie's drumming pyrotechnics from his local gigs with The Michael Kach Group, we hadn't heard his strong vocals and impressive guitar work.
It's always interesting to see two accomplished lead players weave in and out of each other's riffs, and Bain and Frankie had fun finding the spaces in between. Both are veterans of 10 years on the road with Dickey Betts & Great Southern. Their repertoire is varied and spans decades of rock history, spiced with their own personal emotive delivery. The guitars and voices blended and amplified each other.
If you hear that Bain & Frankie are playing somewhere, get over to see them. It's a treat I hope we'll enjoy often in Sarasota.
