Survivor is currently working on a new release. No release date is available at this time. Frankie is also actively writing with the supergroup Mecca's lead singer Joe Vana for this release as well as a rumoured Sullivan/Vana album as well in the future. Frankie began playing guitar in his very early teens by sitting in on local garage band practices and helping with their equipment changes. Eventually he was allowed to play a little after band practice when members realized his serious interest, as stated by local piano/keyboard musician and Northlake, IL resident Jimmy Tranchitelli |
