Album Notes

ROOM 88

Frank Blueka's second album “ROOM 88” is an honest, pure look at an artist coming into his prime. Effortless, relaxed singing and first-class songwriting. A classic album with a 21st century warm feel and sweet guitar sounds...

Born in a remote northern province of Holland, Frank relocated at age 17 to the centrally located "Hanzestad" of Zwolle. This was a change from what he had known up until that time, for sure. More changes were coming when in the years to follow he immersed himself in the multi-cultural melting pot that is one of the world's most famous and beloved cities: Amsterdam. As one might expect this was quite an eye-opener for a boy from "the country", but he kept his sensibilities. Having enjoyed the experience - yet yearning for a place to settle down that was a bit less hectic - he returned to the Zwolle. After playing with various rock/pop formations with some success, he knew it was time to step out on his own and began developing his own style of solo acoustic performance. Not the easiest thing to do, out on a limb in front of the public on your own. It's up to you and no one else is there to catch you if you fall. But he stuck with it and now music lovers everywhere wil be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor as he readies his second full-length album for release. Playing "live" in front of an audience is where he really shines as Barry McCabe well knew when he asked Frank to be the opening act for the "Peace Within" tour. Frank has also played support slots for the classical string-rock alternative Belgian band DAAU and one of the most popular young Dutch bands of this era, Krezip.
