Acoustic Advent

The unique allure of Frano's music lies in his masterful guitar performances, through which this young artist successfully presents to the audience the full richness of sounds on just one instrument. He performs challenging arrangements incorporating elements of an entire band or even an orchestra. In his compositions, Frano highlights the beauty of the main melody, complementing it with interesting harmonic progressions and impressive technical abilities. Simultaneously, he entertains the audience with engaging stories from his life.
Frano has an exciting and rich biography, and he was the inspiration for Hollywood director Lee Unkrich, who created the main character Miguel in his Oscar-winning film "Coco (2017)."
Fellow musicians often refer to Frano as a worthy successor to thumbpick legends such as Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed, Doc Watson, and many others. To continue this tradition, the king of fingerstyle guitar, Tommy Emmanuel, gifted him the legendary "Yellow Mouse" guitar, which Frano currently plays.
