As the founding member and lead Singer/Songwriter for the Fried Turkeys, Tallahassee native Frank Douglas approaches the topics of love, lust, loss, politics and many other common societal themes with an ear for harmony and a head for irony. His tunes combine influences ranging from folk to blues to country to rock, and his lyrics take inspiration from sources ranging from the absurd, to the ongoing poetry of his 93-year-old mother, a lifelong muse. Some songs will make you laugh, and some may make you cry, and some will make you do both at the same time. Frank has recently released Now What, an album of 11 original songs. He’ll be appearing at this year’s Word of South with the authors Annie B. Jones and Craig Pittman.
