Unplugged and Uncouth

Frank & Bill......is Frank Patrouch & Bill Anania Our music style is a blend of acoustic coffee house rock with an original singer / songwriter vibe. We perform at local coffee houses and venues playing a compilation of original songs. Frank and Bill both grew up in Middletown, NJ . They met in 1970 while in Junior High and by 9th grade were in their 1st band together. Life moved on and by 1981 they somehow ended up in a band together again. Again life took over. Many years passed by as Frank continued his musical endeavors, Bill kept up with his instrument but his musical aspirations took a back seat to many other things in his life. In 2012, fate intervened and Frank and Bill reunited to work on Frank's CD project, "Whiskey and Revenge" which was released in April 2013. After all that work together they decided to hit the road again, much older and hopefully wiser. A second album “Frank & Bill” – One Good Line, was released February 2015. “Shotgun Bill” Anania released his solo CD in April 2016 , “The B-Sides”. This is a project he has been wanting to do for decades. Our newest project, Frank & Bill “Unplugged and Uncouth“ album ready to be released by the summer of 2016. This will include 10 Live versions of some their best tunes plus 3 more new studio songs.
