With his music receiving rotation on International and North American Radio it's going Global!! With interviews in major music magazines, radio and television Frank Cosentino is no longer Canada's secret!

He’s now finding that, having been loaned Domenic Troiano’s 1955 Guild CE 100 guitar by Frank Troiano, he’s now being transported back to when “Donnie” was part of the unique and great “Toronto sound” of the 60s and 70s.

As for moving forward, like so many musicians, Cosentino has been taking stock during our collective timeout, and seeing how he can improve himself for our re-entry, so to speak. He optimistically says, “I will continue to write, record, and tour. I'm almost four decades of doing just that already. And let's face it, I'm not getting any prettier.” As they say, Have Guitar will Play. So, expect Frank Cosentino to do exactly that. Every. Single. Time.
