About the Album

  For their second full length release, Big Top, Frankie V and the Lonely Club are spreading their wings a bit musically. In addition to the hard charging songs like, This Love and Slo Burn, they are infusing the music with some old school Soul groove in the tunes, See You Again and Nothing Above you.  The highlight of the collection is Big Top, its an acoustic guitar based ballad with a moody groove, conjuring up a night on a circus midway.

  To assist in expanding the sound, Ricky DeHoyos was brought in full time on Sax to work along with long time band members; Frankie V, Lead Vocal, guitar; Rich Sylvester, keyboards, vocals; Johnny Valentine, Bass and Mike Lencioni, Drums, Vocals.

  Frankie V and the Lonely Club, a Rock band, had their beginnings in the high energy musical community in the San Francisco East Bay, home to Tower of Power, Metallica, Creedence Clearwater, Green Day and Eddie Money.    The group is led by Frank (Frankie V) Vigliotti, who began his career when the Road Manager for Tower of Power signed him to his label and produced his first single. In fact the Tower Horn Section played on the record. After recording the single Frankie was invited to play guitar on some TOP recordings.

  The band became a crowd favorite in the SF Bay Area and has opened for major acts at concerts and large clubs.

  The success of their self titled album released a year ago inspired them to immediately return to the studio. That release did extremely well on all the streaming platforms and was accepted by radio where it has spent the last year on the RMR, Roots Rock and Rock charts, staying in the top ten for almost half of the year.
