Frank's New CD Release
"Gardens of Hope"

Produced by Will Ackerman
Grammy winner and founder of Windham Hill Records

One of the most exciting new CDs to be released, âGardens of Hopeâ will take you on a journey that will soothe the soul and enliven the spirit. Frank Smith is widely known for his original solo guitar performances on his first two CDs, but this newest recording separates itself by adding the texture and professionalism of many award-winning musicians who back up his acoustic and classical guitar pieces, making this an astounding three-dimensional composition.

It was the love of acoustic guitar along with the music of Will Ackerman that inspired Frank to begin a music career and later create âGardens of Hopeâ. When he began exploring alternate tunings on the guitar along with using altered capos, he found the sound he had always been looking for. With the added expertise of Will Ackerman, and many other talented musical artists, âGardens of Hopeâ became a reality.

Frank has received accolades in numerous publications for his performances as a Music Therapist in hospital settings as well as for his other professional performances throughout the United States.

Frank is considered a visionary because his multidimensional music weaves an emotional thread through each song he writes, lifting your spirit and making you smile. He constantly develops increasing enthusiasm for his performances which emphasizes his talent as an artist on the rise. His style of music is inspirational and will lead you on an inner journey of calmness from which you will never be the same.
