With his son Sammy by his side, Frankie J., 43, singer and entertainer, belts out reggae for passerby in front of Au Bon Pan. When he isn’t chasing his two-year-old son around, he’s performing a mix of Bob Marley covers and his own songs.
Originally from Dominica in the Caribbean, he now lives in the South Shore and performs here in Harvard Square when the weather is nice. It’s a welcome break from the fencing job he’s not too fond of and a chance to earn extra cash. If you don't catch him on the streets, you might just find him playing in a restaurant or at a party.
Music is what he loves and he’s inspired by the Beatles and Bob Marley, which he clearly expresses through his sets.
“I just want to have fun and still make some money,” he says as he tunes his guitar.
I've seen this guy out in Boston. As a Bob Marley fan I think he does a pretty good job. I like the pictures that show his son and found it interesting to learn that his son is by his side while he performs.
ReplyDeleteI've seen him too and he was great. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a CD? What better than a man trying to make some extra cash while playing a mix of Bob and the Beatles.
