Frank LoCrasto is a Texas- based musician, specializing in piano and synthesizers. He has performed and recorded extensively as a side man and leader since the early 2000’s. He has also composed and recorded original scores for major television networks and independent films.

His two solo albums “When You’re There” (Maxjazz 2006) and “El Dorado” (Hundred Pockets 2011) explore themes of melancholy, longing, and loneliness. “When You’re There” is a mostly acoustic jazz record featuring a small chamber orchestra on 4 out of the 9 tracks. The compositions generally have extended song forms and the record features Chris Cheek, Mike Moreno, Ben Street, and Tommy Crane as the core band. “El Dorado” was recorded in his basement apartment in Brooklyn, New York. It utilizes tube amps, drum machines, tape echo, pianos and vintage synths to create an alchemy of psychedelic and ambient music.

In addition to solo projects, LoCrasto has toured internationally with Jeremy Pelt, Nicholas Payton, Pat Martino, Greg Osby, Wallace Roney, and James Iha. Other collaborators include: Josh Mease, Ryan Scott, Logan Richardson, Tommy Crane, Christina Courtin, Alan Hampton, and Bill Campbell. He has appeared on over 30 records as a side man.
