Seacoast music scene glad to be hearing from Mike Frampton once again
3:38 a.m.
CC Bissett caught up with Leadfoot's Mike Frampton, who spoke about his return to music following the demise of his former band Bang N Jane which stopped performing after the tragic death of drummer Jim Unfonak in January 2017. "It was rough for me when Jimmy got killed. I really lost my heart to play any more music and I really didn't even care if I did play anymore. "Then my friend Bob Boucher called me and asked me to do a benefit for their singer from Fallen, he had a brain tumor. I got together with them just to do a couple of songs and we ended up jamming for 8-9 months and did some shows, but COVID hit and it kind of dissolved that band. "Then Brian Andreason, the lead guitarist of Leadfoot, got a hold of me and asked if I wanted to start an original outfit with him. They still had their other singer and I wasn't even considered to be part of Leadfoot yet. I was also singing for Fallen at the time. "I was asked to fill in for a couple of gigs because the singer couldn't do it. And it just kind of morphed into it." I am sure all of your fans are happy to have you back! 🤟🏼 Here's you musical lineup for your weekend: Friday THE PLAN 'B' BAND at The Garage at Governors Inn, Rochester NH 6-9 p.m. Classic Rock, Alt-90's, and a little country!
