Frank Hart | Music that aches

Purchase the New album (Physical CD): Frank Hart "Being Christmas." $10.00

I recorded a Christmas album. This is a Christmas album that is inspired by my love of acoustic music and my years of playing cello with Kemper Crabb. The tracks represent my favorite Christmas songs played the way I have always wanted to hear them. Simple, singable, mostly upbeat with a bit of light beauty thrown in to add some depth. I sang all the parts, and used the instruments that I had laying around the house: acoustic guitar, cello, doumbek, udu, sitar and other various instruments. I hope you like it. Merry Christmas.

Who am I? Frank Hart is a singer/songwriter from Houston, but his music sounds like he could be from anywhere east of the sunrise or west of the sunset. Frank’s main instrument is guitar and his music is driven from beginning to end by his sometimes hauntingly beautiful, sometimes soaring guitar and soulful, raspy vocals. His first solo album, Human Liturgy’s instrumentation, however, is eclectic, ranging from the exotic sounds of sitar, doumbek, and udu to the more folksy sounds of hammered dulcimer, mandolin, and piano, as well as fretless bass, drumset, violin, viola, and cello. There is an otherworldly feel to this record somewhere between prayer and dreaming.

Frank is also the leader of the art-rock band Atomic Opera which has recorded for Warner Brothers, Giant records and Metal Blade. Atomic Opera has recorded four albums, so far.

Frank is also the full time music director/worship leader at CrossPoint Community Church in Katy, TX.

Frank's music is for fans of Vas, Dead Can Dance, Loreena Mckennitt, David Wilcox, Tom Waits, Bruce Cockburn, Mark Heard, Nick Drake, William Ackerman, and all beautiful music that aches.
