Frank Turner

I was lucky enough to get into two exclusive acoustic performances by Frank Turner today.  The first was in the morning at the Boston Globe's radio station, and the second was at Newbury Comics near Faneuil Hall.  The Newbury performance was followed by an autograph session.  Frank signed two album covers for me.  If you're interested, the full set from the first gig is up at Boston.com's Live in the Lab
