Frank Wallace

Frank Wallace is an accomplished classical guitarist who has played for audiences throughout the Americas and Europe since 1976, including performances at the Holland Festival, Regensburg Festival, Música en Compostela, Taxco International Guitar Festival, Boston Early Music Festival, Barcelona Festival, International Guitar Festival of Arequipa, the Festival of Spanish Song of Granada, and the Guitar Foundation of America. He has recorded 16 (SIXTEEN) CDs. 16? 16 CDs. Almost as impressive as his catalog is his accomplishments as a composer, a teacher, recording engineer, publisher, and a director of musical/guitar projects. Soundboard magazine calls him “an impressive talent in every respect; he is a strong guitarist, a composer with a distinct voice, and a confident vocalist." I met Frank at the University of Rhode Island Guitar Fest. Frank was generous enough to give me an hour of his time as the festival wrapped, what follows is an edited version of our conversation on the intersection of music and commerce.
