FRANKIE CHAVEZ latest record ,Heart & Spine" was not an easy birth. It was written during a tumultuous time, when balancing a very recent family life with an increasingly busy life on the road, became an everyday struggle. Ideas were popping out in every direction and after an acoustic based record release in 2011, CHAVEZ deepest, most electric and fuzzy references emerged and blended with his Portuguese heritage. Touring almost 2 years as a duo with friend and drummer JOAO CORREIA led CHAVEZ to write almost 20 songs where he talks about love, loss, overcoming bad times, watching friends leave their hometown and about the birth of his second son. A real roller coaster of emotions where he approaches both political and personal matters. ,Heart & Spine" has become the expression of Portuguese Hypnotic Blues Rock.
