A GURU NAMED FRANK Music and lyrics by John Henry McDonald

A GURU NAMED FRANK is John Henry’s story of struggle, perseverance, and transformation, told through his inimitable songwriting and storytelling. He will be accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Oliver Steck. All proceeds benefit Austin Classical Guitar Juvenile Justice Services.

If you have any questions, email James or call (512) 300-2247.

 

I am such a strong believer in ACG for several reasons: the guitar made it so my life on the streets was less dangerous, my life in early recovery was a joy, and my life post retirement from financial services has been given great meaning. All because of a little six string box.
