The Nepotist at the Living Room

The Nepotist is Chris Frank on guitar and vocals, his brother Hayden Frank on bass and vocals, and Owen Erickson on drums. The trio is originally from Ithaca and is now based in New York City, playing the local singer-songwriter circuit. The band performed at the Living Room tonight and will be performing at Arlene's Grocery on February 17 and the Wayland on February 25. Now this is outstanding: while every band seems to have its own website, here even Dad has a website promoting his sons’ band.

The trio engaged in a curious combination of pop music at the Living Room tonight. The guitarist played with a blues flair, the bassist played with a touch of reggae and the drummer played a bit like a jazz drummer. The first comparison might be to the Police, yet earthier and not as commercial. The Nepotist might be a rising band to watch.
