O ne thing that stands out is the connec tion the band members have with one another. “They came together as young, aspiring musicians and ended up a fam ily,” says Karen Farmer. “We hang out together outside of recording and songwriting. We are together all the time,” says Smith. “We have disagreements and argue from time to time, but we love being with each other enough to get through that and make great music.” Frame 42 has a long way to go but has the drive, talent and support to get there. “Undercroft” is a fantastic start. At the release party, the band was blown away by the turnout and crowd’s enthusiasm. “We were finally able to play our new songs and when we did, the audience sang them right along with us,” says Michael Farmer. “When we’ve played covers in

prior shows, we had the audience sing along but it was never anything that we wrote. The feeling was very surreal. It just makes us want to work harder.” “We are always looking for that audience connec tion,” says Smith. “We want to share with the audi ence what we feel. We can’t wait to get out on tour.” Frame 42 will play a full schedule of shows through out the summer and open for well-known bands such as Buckcherry, Hinder,The Guess Who, and Steven Adler. And, don’t miss Frame 42 headlining at this year’s Back to the Bricks celebration in Downtown Flint. “They are an amazing group of young adults and they love performing together,” says their manager. “Their fan base is expanding and the area is starting to support them in a big way.They are living and loving it, and I know they feel fortunate to be living their dream.” x
