Join Me At Work -Private Solo Acoustic Gig in The Sky!

[@bluesky6408]

The Paul Simon sounded great

[@FrankPersico]

Much appreciated

[@sashaneemoht8764]

I'm stunned 😮! The consummate professional at work. I don't know how your focus was not distracted by the beautiful people and the picture windows. You're a star ⭐!

[@FrankPersico]

The biggest distraction (and this goes for all the type of gigs I do) is the background noise of everyone talking. Lol story of my life

[@sashaneemoht8764]

@@FrankPersico In NYC? I thought that the New Yorkers were so restrained and subdued when I was there a few years ago. Not! 😂

[@brianderr4336]

I like these gig videos. That looks like a super neat guitar bag …

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks man, it holds my guitar and my soul lol

[@brianderr4336]

@ It certainly sounds that way my dude. I’m a beginner basically, into finger style and using a parlor guitar.

[@peternuss8682]

Thanks for taking us along. I would have been nerved up just after the drive. YOU SOUNDED GREAT. BTW

[@FrankPersico]

Yeah u have to meditate on the drive lol … thanks so much

[@peternuss8682]

@@FrankPersico. It was FUN. Got the crowd singing with sweet Caroline, clapping with Wild Rover (no nay never) and jumping about with ROSE TATTOO. NOW TIPPING WAS SOMETHING ELSE. FOLKS WERE MEHHH... THE BREWERY GAVE ME A 50 BUCK TAB along with PAY. and I DONT DRINK WHILE I PLAY. ILL HAVE RE WATCH YOUR TIP VIDEO AGAIN.

[@richdibs]

GOD, that takes me back to when I was an extra in 3 movies - years ago. I had to drive down to the city from Bristol CT at about 5am, park in LAZ parking garage, and walk to filming location. End of day, we went to Windows Of The World, top of World Trade Center. Looked out at that view of the East River with those bridges at night time. Love your vids Frank. So cool riding along with you and walking into the place. Hope you can post more of your actual performances. That'd be great. Thanks for posting !

[@FrankPersico]

Wow! I’ll definitely try to post more actual performances!

[@Fronz05]

I've always wondered what it would be like to do a solo acoustic gig. This video, and frankly, most of your videos give me that insight Perfectly! Thank you and keep makin' these just right!

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much

[@gregsmith29]

Frank you are the "King Troubadour" for sure! Thank you for shareing your gifts, your City and humor! All the best Brother!

[@FrankPersico]

My pleasure! I enjoy doing it. Cheers!

[@tylerfraziermusic1091]

Agreed 🎉

[@RockStarMichael]

That was the definition of Professional. Thank you for inspiring me and reminding me.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks man. Just fighting the good fight out here lol

[@michaelpicardi8641]

Frank, another great inside the gig video. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along.

[@FrankPersico]

My pleasure! It's always fun to have company along for the ride!

[@MotorcityBart]

I have a Buddy who's a close friend he's from a musical family that was known for roots style and bluegrass. He's probably plaid bars and other venues for close to 30 years consistently. It's not easy busting into the industry. I met Jeff Daniels and other musicians and songwriters that he's opened for. There's more talented folks at home and playing small venues than the big names that we all have heard. He's definitely got the James Taylor vibe going, sounds, and plays quite a bit like him stylistically speaking. His brother Livingston said the same exact thing when he opened for him. Kevin Daniels is my friends name, one album he wrote and released. Nothing came of it besides the self gratification of releasing an album that didn't sell.

[@FrankPersico]

Very true. Sometimes a little luck doesn’t hurt as well.

[@rmzzz76]

Thanks for sharing, very cool. I know we got a for bits and pieces, but what was the setlist and were given setlist by the client?

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks for watching and commenting. The client just specified their basic musical tastes. I personally don’t allow clients to make me a set list but rather to give me the songs they love and want to hear and then trust my judgement.

[@artv3232]

Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed it. You sounded great!

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much

[@eddiesongsmith8839]

Really enjoying your vids Frank. The footage here is fantastic!! Nice to see a fellow troubadour out there making it happen!!

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks Eddie I appreciate it .

[@grene1955]

If you haven't already, I would love a video discussing what kind of fee you get for various types of gigs, realizing that NYC is not typical of most areas...

[@rguidryrd]

Wow, looks like a really nice place! With the holiday season approaching, could you do a video focused on playing holiday music gigs? Thanks for all the great vids!

[@FrankPersico]

That’s a great idea. I have a very busy travel schedule the next month so I may not be able to get one done in time for this season. :(

[@rguidryrd]

@@FrankPersico No worries, safe travels!

[@JasonMckellMusic]

Really enjoyed this Frank, I never realised until I watched this how much I enjoy the drive to and from the gig.. The walking the streets with the gear, the drive home.. late night unpacking the car etc.. I don't know about you but I feel most like a working muso at those times. Also love how you filmed it, some great angles and your audio was really clean in the car and walking the streets. .felt like a gig

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks. Yeah the art of recording the process has become a job and a craft u to itself lol

[@JasonMckellMusic]

@@FrankPersico Yeah it's way harder than it looks in the finished product.

[@johngrattan302]

That was short but very enjoyable👍

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks. Yeah was kinda tough to manage the gig and the videoing of the whole process at the same time.

[@KDMusic62]

Thanks for taking us along. I get nervous every time you go to a venue. Just projecting how i would feel onto you i guess 🙂

[@FrankPersico]

Hahaha that’s great … project away my brotha lol

[@TREE-TOPWOODWORKING-pe4qc]

Sweet, thank you for sharing. Wow didnt even see you sweay, pro

[@FrankPersico]

Haha thanks for noticing!

[@NickJardine]

Really digging your videos. Cool!

[@FrankPersico]

Many thanks! I'm glad you like them.

[@KSparksTheFuture]

Awesome work brother!

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks k Spizzy

[@tylerfraziermusic1091]

Awesome gig! Do you book your own gigs or work with a booking agent? Love these ‘At the gig’ videos!

[@FrankPersico]

Hi there and thanks! I booked this gig and the vast majority of gigs on my own.

[@peternuss8682]

I did a bigfoot and brews event last night. Much different atmosphere. Ran a bigfoot mating call, air guitar and more cowbell contests. Bigfoot played air guitar with folks.

[@FrankPersico]

lol sounds interesting to say the least

[@Jubilo1]

Professional- toughing it out.

[@FrankPersico]

It’s all we can do

[@ouzalghost8411]

What a nice venue to gig at but a shame there’s no roof top car park 😂

[@FrankPersico]

lol yeah right??? I was thinking the same thing 😂

[@Tobi_A.]

Thank you for sharing that insides. Even here in Good Old Germany near the Baltic Sea your vids are more than appriciate. 😊 (even though our highest floor is the 3rd. 😂) Do you play with a setlist or with situational inspirations? Stay happy and if you ever come to germany, lets jam. You German Troubadour Tobi kzbin.info/www/bejne/ganQgn6fi9Warsksi=afBO7Cfla0knflCE

[@FrankPersico]

Hi thanks so much for posting. I never use a set list I just like to read the room for the most part. Maybe one day I will get over to Germany!!

[@abelinoaragon9276]

How much $$$ did you make?

[@rickymather218]

Not many people paying attention to your playing

[@FrankPersico]

Nope: story of my life

[@johnbankston72]

...nor should they. It's a wedding. The focus is on the bride and groom, then friends and family. Musicians are just background; there to set the mood.

[@tomf9292]

Nope…but they paid attention when they gave him the check baby! Great video Frank

[@Greenjagsurf]

Does it feel odd, playing in a sandbox of a different reality?

[@FrankPersico]

Not sure what u mean?
