Little Frank & The Premiers! October 2, 2009

In a time where more common rock-based music is passing for contemporary blues; Little Frank and the Premiers are out there keeping the traditional roots music torch aglow. By making the blues & rockabilly styles of Chess and Sun records sound fresh and vital, they have been taking the Midwest by storm. Since forming in the late 1990s, they have performed at some of the finest festivals and concert venues in the country.

While still in his mid teens, bandleader 'Little Frank' Krakowski, began seeking out the traditional '50 & '60 s style blues that he heard from Chicago’s South and West sides, and delving deep into the big guitar sounds from the Southwest and California. He frequented such local Chicago clubs as the Checkerboard and the 5105 Club in search of the old-timers still performing. Before he knew it he was gigging and touring with the likes of Pinetop Perkins, Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith, Hubert Sumlin, Lazy Lester and 'Little Arthur' Duncan to name a few. These experiences helped to shape his guitar style into one that has been sought after by some of the great traditionalists out there today.
