Frankie Chavez’s music, surfer and rocker from Lisbon (Portugal), is a mix between different types of sounds, reflecting all the musical influences he encountered while traveling the world. The result is a kind of Blues/Folk, with atmospheres ranging from clean to rough or psychedelic. Though it’s easy to recognize different musical influences it’s hard to define his music in a single word.
But we can say for sure that it sounds like rock, folk, blues and surf with a portuguese soul

It’s ROCK, because his music reflects the real spirit of this genre; essential, powerful, universal…
It’s BLUES because Frankie learned from the greatest American blues masters, creating his own personal interpretation mixed with
another blues, the Portuguese Fado. Echoes of this music are inside his songs with his innovative approach to the Portuguese guitar
It’s FOLK because in his poignant ballads you can find sun, sea sunsets, travels along the coast and long days surfing waves.
It’s SURF because his music is sunny, strong and determined, like the sea and the huge Portuguese waves
FRANKIE CHAVEZ is an artist with whom everyone is in agreement, everybody speaks well about him, even the reviewers. He fascinates the audience during his perfomances, without being catalogued or labelled
