ORLANDO Fla – On Nov 14th folk-punk artist Frank Turner shared a collection of his songs for an estimated 200 fans. At 3 p.m. Turner struck his first chord for the crowd as many heads were raised in attention within the Park Ave CDs record store.
Turner played 12 songs - mostly hits off of his 7 releases. He started his set with the first song off his hit record Love Ire & Song, and the crowd quickly became involved with clapping and howls at the solo artist.
“To me punk is an attitude that comes in many shapes and forms and I think if you only look for punk rock in skinny angry white boys playing guitar you’ll probably get bored really quickly.” Said Turner, as he explains his outlook on the punk rock movement.
Turner quickly moved into his second and third songs of the set to keep the attention of the fans before taking a break to catch his breath and talk about his future plans. He is currently on tour with the country-rock band Lucero, and played the house of blues later that evening.
“I always love watching Frank Turner. His music is inspiring and always gives me the chills.” Said Brandon Craig.
By the end of Turners performance the crowd demanded an encore, but Turner was on an unfortunate time-pressed schedule. The 200 or so fans lined up for questions and autographs.
“I wish Frank Turner could play every day for me personally in my living room.” Said Melissa Bruce, who has been listening to Frank Turners collections for the last 4 years. “He never gets old.”
Turner will be back in Orlando come spring of 2011 for another full U.S. tour. You can catch one of his songs from his performance at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mblBrtwJpL8
