In and around Melbourne, Florida - Performing a variety of song favorites and genres Rock, Pop, Country, Standards from artists such as Neil Diamond, Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, Nat King Cole, James Taylor, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash and many more from the '50's, '60's and '700's...
I’m Frank Okun. I'm a solo act - singer-songwriter, musician and entertainer. Some people call me a “one man band” in that, as a solo act, I use my own “digital band” creations to accompany my voice and guitar. Although, there are many songs I perform with just my guitar and vocals.
However, I am available if I can find good musicians who are looking to replace a singer / guitarist a duo, trio or band.
I am available for just about any event, including private parties and corporate events, charities and fundraisers, as well as hotels and casinos, being that I recently moved to Melbourne, Florida from Las Vegas where I had the pleasure to perform with some of the best talent.
