The Street Minstrels recently performed at a wedding at Saguaro Buttes and did a wonderful job, both during the ceremony and also during the cocktail hour. By visiting their web site you can hear a sampling of their music, and also the various music they can play. Franklin Ross, founder and guitarist of the group, began his musical interests as a child in Spain where he joined a group of students to play traditional folk music. His musical influences are varied, ranging from pop to jazz to classical. Their web site is: http://www.streetminstrels.com
The Street Minstrels Info
The Street Minstrels began as a guitar-mandolin duet in 1986 playing mostly Irish, Classical and Traditional music. We would occasionally perform for tips at The Fourth Avenue Street Fair in Tucson, Arizona. It was while performing in this festive atmosphere that Frank got the idea for the group’s name. The duo eventually became a trio consisting of guitar, violin and flute our flautist also doubles on the clarinet. Our repertoire has expanded to include more International Folk Music, Renaissance and American and European Standards. Our unique sound is varied and festive.
