Originally
from Missouri, Frank Meyer (a.k.a. Frankie J. Meyer)
has spent the last 25 years in Austin, TX. A
professional musician for many years, he played bass
for such luminaries as B.B. King, Luther Tucker,
Peter Rowan and Johnny Gimble. He was voted Best
Bass Player in an Austin Chronicle readers poll.
Frank put the bass in the doghouse a few years ago
when the urge to write songs struck him. He has
since released three all original full length CD's:
"Scrounger's Paradise" (2001), "Dagnabit"
(2004) and a 2005 children's release "Get
Serious Mr. Pancake."
Frank's songs range from the sensitive to the
hilarious, and from passionate to twisted. Two of
his songs have been licensed to movies and his voice
can be heard on various T.V. and radio spots.
"Savage of Salvage" (Scrounger's Paradise)
was recently featured on NPR's "Car Talk."
