Frank Critelli

Frank Critelli writes songs. He dabbles in haiku and other short poetry. Sometimes he writes other stuff too. Like postcards. His songs are available on compact disc and for download at Independisc Music Club and other places like CD Baby. You can read more about his music at his website or MySpace page. Frank Critelli often performs live. Sometimes he performs solo, and sometimes he is accompanied by one or more of the following musical co-conspirators: Rich "Southbound" Suarez: drums, "The Don" Horton: bass guitar, Shandy Lawson: guitar, and Mark Mirando: keys. Over the years he's played in streets and subways, coffeehouses, classrooms, barrooms, clubs, colleges, festivals, theaters, and (most recently) in his kitchen. He also hosts a long-running monthly live music series at Books & Company, a used bookstore in Hamden, CT. It features some of the best independent songwriters from New England and beyond.

balanced on a fence post,
an autumn leaf
