Telegram Frank is the solo acoustic project of Frank Vollmann of Frank the Baptist
Biography:
“Frank Vollmann (A presidential hopeful) is sometimes a man of bad decisions who will sew your gown of disappointment. You’ll both laugh about it someday when it’s too late. That’s one of the things motivating him to do what he can for the people. He has been called “Telegram Frank”, “Frank the Baptist” (no, he isn’t), “FTB”, etc.. He is the singer/songwriter/founder of a long-running, festival-headlining, Strobelight Records Recording Artist, pirate crew menace of a band called “Frank the Baptist” and a band called “Candlestick Maker” from long ago as well as currently being involved in “The Dirty Weather Project” with Lucas Lanthier of “Cinema Strange“, “The Deadfly Ensemble“, “Shanghai Trio” etc.etc.. This is his solo (sort of acoustic) project that continues him on his warpath to win a few hearts with a melody, now based in Berlin, Germany.” — Playboy Magazine
