Frantic! is one of the area's most unique bands. Catering to a diverse audience they can tailor their song selection for each venue. From classic to party, from dance to modern rock, Frantic! delivers it to the audience with their own Frantic! flavor. For many venues Frantic! will begin with an acoustic set and rock it up as the night goes on. If it's a dance crowd, Frantic! will have 'em up on their feet! Find out for yourself why Frantic! is a favorite band among staff and management.

Yes, Frantic! is a three-piece band. Many people think that they need 4 or 5 pieces to make a band sound "full". People are amazed at how Frantic! sounds like a much bigger band. Al, Carl and Bob are complimentary to one another with solid vocals and tight musicianship.
Frantic! also has a few tricks up their sleeves; by adding a harp, talk box, theremin and a violin bow, Frantic! is a band to keep your eyes on!

Frantic! also has a versatile, modern PA system. No matter the size of the venue, we bring the right stuff.

Guitar & Vocals- Al Knight
Al delivers a whole lot of guitar for a band with one guitar player. Al's main guitar is a Godin acoustic/electric. He is a Strat kind of guy by nature, you'll also see him with a Gibson double-neck and look out- Al also comes packed with a talkbox and a violin bow! Guitar enthusiasts are mesmerized by watching Al. They all want to know how he gets that great tone! Al's vocals are smooth and strong. From the blues to funk, ballads to rock Al can dish it out.

Bass & Vocals- Carl Gabel
Carl is all over that bass guitar. He can keep it locked in the pocket, but have you ever heard a REAL bass solo? Well Carl can wow you with his musical talent, he has been known to bring a harp to every show and on special occasions bass pedals and keyboard. A few times he played all at one time! Carl is the screamer in the band, did someone say Zeppelin?

Percussion- Bob Landry
Bob seems like a mild-mannered, quiet kind of guy. Looks can be deceiving. Bob has so much finesse and great timing, he is the cohesive force behind Frantic!. Bob really love to play and it shows. Whether acoustic or driving hard rock, Bob's got it all going on.
