Style: Jazz/Great American Songbook

Veteran musician Frank Dain is of a romantic generation. His style (jazzy piano, wire brushes on snares, and subtle sax and trumpet behind his seasoned, delicate vocals) boasts confidence and distinction. His music soothes—if Dain tucked me into bed and sang “I’ll Be Easy to Find,” I have no doubt that my dream would be happily reminiscent of You’ve Got Mail. His tracks “No One Ever Tells You” and “Some Other Time” evoke the same wistful longing. Though timelessly beautiful, the songs are not an everyday listen, in fact, they’re more suited for when the credits roll in a ‘90s rom-com—and that’s not a bad thing!
