Frankie is a singer/songwriter currently living in Chicago. As of late, she spends her time teaching (virtual!) piano lessons, reading, biking, hanging out at the lake, and cooking fancy dinners. She's also passionate about community-building and healing through creative expression, with an array of experience in music therapy, education, performance, and programming to show for it. Most recently, this manifested as a DIY concert space in Ann Arbor called The CoOp, which she hopes to eventually bring to Chi-town! Links to The CoOp & her music below :)
