Brian Franklin

Music

Brian’s musical “career” wasn’t long—it mainly consisted of working in South Florida Bands, playing solo cover gigs, and a brief moment in the mid-90s signed to Mercury/Polygram in a publishing/developmental deal—but he’s never stopped writing and recording.  He’s co-written songs appearing on albums by Nashville artists Diane Ward and Dean Fields.

In 2009 he teamed up with the Holy Terror’s Rob Elba to write an epic rock opera about the Pied Piper of  the Miami Music Scene, Rat Bastard (Frank Falestra). “The Rat Opera,” as it was called, was described by the Miami Herald as “Tommy meets the Pixies” and “a masterpiece” by the Broward New Times.  Elba and Franklin promptly recorded the Soundtrack to the Rat Opera, performed two sold out all-star theatrical performances of the rock opera, and then, of course, swiftly ended the whole project.

Since then, Brian has occasionally teamed with producer and multi-instrumentalist Fernando Perdomo to record random singles Brian writes when not occupied with Vows & Speeches, his wedding-writing business.
