Acoustic magic
Original & diverse songwriting
S.A.S. - Serious Acoustic Succotash
Thanks, everyone!
Both of us are songwriters. We used to almost always write separately (with welcome input from each other), but our latest batch of songs is largely co-written. We didn't plan it that way, it simply evolved as such. Frank would start playing and Luisa would start singing and suddenly (after one...or one hundred hours of work) we had a song! Playing live, we have a couple of guitars, our voices, and a few fun percussion instruments for spice. Depending on the venue, we incorporate covers from some of the artists we love best (always a pleasure to play the music of those who've inspired you!). Influences you ask?
Frank's include: The Beatles, America, Dan Fogelberg, Jim Croce, Maury Muehleisen, Brian Wilson, Motown, James Taylor, Eagles, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Gordon Lightfoot, Steely Dan, Delta Blues, Al Petteway, Tom Meccariello.
Luisa's include: Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow, Aimee Mann, Cheryl Wheeler, Paul Simon, Stephen Sondheim!, and The Beatles naturally.
