5/26/12 - Being a young artist is a rewarding job, but it is not always the most financially reliable. At the request of some fellow musicians I have known throughout the years, I have set up a donation button for anyone who wishes to donate - whether it's a dollar or more. You can find this button right under the mailing list form. Donating, however, is not as important as the love I get from all of my listeners. Thanks to everyone.

5/11/12- The "TBT" (Tampa Bay Times), has made me Artist of the Day for May 10th, 2012. I am very excited for this publicity, and the moment came as a suprise. Thank you for everyone who helped this happen, and I am excited for the opportunites that this will bring. You can view the article here, www.tampabay.com/blogs/soundcheck/content/artist-day-frankie-raye, or in the PRESS section of this website.

5/1/2012 - Production on my CD, "Chapters", is in full swing. With help from a few local artists, I have a sound that I really am proud of. The CD should be completed this Fall.  Recently, I had an amazing experience at this year's Delandapalooza Festival (www.ssa.cc/delandapalooza.html), where I made some great connections and had a very welcoming crowd. This month, I have a few bookings that I am excited for - including the Sarasota Songwriters Festival (sarasotasongwritersfestival.com/). I will be leaving for Paris at the end of this month, where I am hoping to write some amazing music so I can have something special to bring back. In the meantime, sign up for my mailing list as a way to see what I am up to and where I will be.  A very exciting summer is on its way!
