What Clients Are Saying
Awesome Musician for Any Event!
Franklin Smith played at my daughter’s graduation party, and he was absolutely fantastic! He performed a wide variety of genres and even took requests, which everyone really appreciated. He has a great voice, and his talent truly stood out. Beyond the music, Franklin was laid back, polite, and friendly just an all-around pleasure to have at our event. All our guests loved his performance, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommended!
Dawn Bushnell
Fabulous Outdoor Entertainment
Franklin entertained 900+ attendees of all ages at our Suncadia Owners Picnics the last few years. His music was enjoyed by adults, children and families. He was always on time, ready to entertain and very respectful. This was an outdoor event with food, music and other entertainment held in July. These were the largest events ever and Franklin’s music was part of the draw!
Fred Mattison
A Classic Country Act
Frank has played multiple summer gigs for our community and it is always the talk of the town! He has a classic country voice with a command of a wide spectrum of country hits. He also has a catalog of his originals which makes the experience that much better. If you haven’t had a chance to see him live, I highly recommend seeking him out, the troubadour doesn’t disappoint!
