In this second installment of our "Guitar Talk" series, I talk shop with one of Canada's top shelf guitarist/singers, Frank Soda.
Frank got his first break in the music business as a member of Jon Mykl Thor's band & within a few years, Thor & the Imps morphed into "Frank Soda & the Imps". He learned a lot about showmanship during his tenure with Thor & quickly gained a reputation for his awesome live shows where he would do guitar battles with himself (with the aid of VHS videos on stage) & blowing up TVs on his head.
You might think that his showmanship obscured his talent. That was not the case. Early on after branching out from Thor, Frank & his band were sponsored by one of the biggest radio stations in Canada at the time, CHUM FM to record a live album at Toronto's infamous Piccadilly Tube bar. He was signed with Quality records before too long & was a featured player on Lee Aaron's debut album.
The pace has slowed down for Frank since the pandemic hit, but he's still active as a session guitarist.
If you're into guitar & like hearing from seminal players like Frank, this episode if for you!
