The son of well-known tenor Frank Vestry Sr., Frank followed in his father's footsteps to pursue a singing career. He sold merch for Twisted Sister, met the band, and opened for them numerous times in the tri-state area. He later played in the original bands Devias and The Pack, teaming up with Ross the Boss from Manowar.

Frank is currently tearing up the rock scene with his Smokin' Renegade "A Tribute to Boston and Styx" band and his newest tribute project, Forever Foreigner.
