SHINER SCORES A RECORD — New York-based vocalist FRANK SHINER has nabbed himself another Top 5 AC record. His song “The Real Me”—the title track off his current album The Real Me—has soared to the #5 spot (FYI: Shiner now becomes the second of two artists to land consecutive Top 5 AC records so far this year). Shiner, who just performed at NYC’s Cutting Room to much acclaim, will be the headline performer on Friday at the 60th annual Fine Arts Fiesta in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.
The Fine Arts Fiesta (which will run this year from May 14-17) began in 1956. It remains a gathering of the great volume of fine art created within the community of Wilkes Barre.
The Fiesta has recognized since its formation the need for a community to come together in order to celebrate diversity, talent, passion in artwork, and friendship.
Shiner joins other headliners at the fest, including singer/songwriter Marshall Crenshaw (“Someday, Someway” from 1982 – Crenshaw also had a brief cameo as the musician-boyfriend to Helen Hunt’s character in Francis Coppola’s 1986 Boomer-beloved “time-travel” comedy-drama Peggy Sue Got Married) and the Marko Marcinko Jazz Quartet.
Shiner will also return for an encore performance at The Cutting Room on July 25.
