Shall we face the truth? Humanity is awkward. If I may be so bold, that means that you and I are awkward in at least some small way. Day in and day out we live and grapple with this awkwardness that afflicts us and also rescues us. Some of us may have a harder time of it than others, some of us embrace the struggle and some of us are in denial.

Some of us do all we can to conceal our inner awkwardness beneath a mask of normality...or in the case of certain rock stars who take themselves more seriously than small pox; beneath a mask of pretentious and wholly ludicrous angst.

But a certain Franco Bertucci is not in denial. No, this young professional goofball and songwriter who sports a rich and surprising baritone voice, as well as nine younger siblings, stands on the curb at his full height of five feet seven inches and unabashedly bares his soul to the world while making his piano and guitar dance a graceful yet quirky dance while out of his larger than normal throat soar songs of truth, beauty, awkwardness and oatmeal.

Be forewarned that when you listen to Franco's album "Awkward Guy," you will feel so refreshed, relieved and vindicated that (to quote Franco) you will literally, "lift yourself up by your own boot straps and kick yourself out the door." You will feel such happiness at having discovered this strange music, so exceptionally human and humorous, so powerfully moving and so beautifully awkward that your life may very well be irreversibly changed for at least a week.
