The Forecast For Frank Shiner's Return To Feinstein's/54 Below July 8th Calls For Rainy Nights and Soul Drenched VocalsBy: Frank Shiner In reviewing the album, The Huffington Post raved, "Shiner's style encompasses blues, a touch of jazz and healthy dollops of R&B. He takes all three influences, mashes them up in a musical mixing bowl and then frappes it. The man can sing!" Noted Soul music historian and founder of soulmusic.com David Nathan wrote, "Lonely Town Lonely Street is a tour de force collection of twelve songs from the songbooks of legendary Blue-eyed soul writers." Backed by an all-star band including Guitarist Sherrod Barnes (Whitney Houston, Roberta Flack, Earth, Wind & Fire), Keyboardist Chris Coogan (Bette Midler, Larry Coryell, Ronnie Spector), Bassist Chris Anderson (A Great Big World, Rachel Platten), Saxophonist Jay Rodriquez (Michael Kiwanuka, Prince, Patti Labelle), and Drummer Dan Weiner (house drummer for NBC's America's Got Talent, Andrea Bocelli), the July 8th show follows up a number of successful dates including World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, The Ridgefield Playhouse and sold out shows at New York's Cutting Room (The Rascals' Gene Cornish joined Frank on stage during "How Can I Be Sure," commenting that the singer's version of the group's classic was "very special to him") and the opening of The Chappaqua Performing Arts Center which resulted in a resounding standing ovation by the 400 people in attendance. In reviewing Shiner's recent performance at World Café Live in Philadelphia, writer Alan Foster of Entertaining- One of those "Aha" moments came when Tony Joe White endorsed Shiner's version of the writer's classic "Rainy Night in Georgia", now celebrating its 50th Anniversary. The song and video have become the singer's biggest hit to date. Shiner's first album, The Real Me, was named Best CD By A Male Artist by the LA Music Critic Awards and included two Top 5 AC hits.
