Mac Frampton
Now in his 40th season as a concert pianist, Mac Frampton, a native of South Carolina, credits his durability to a continuing evolution as a performer. He started his career in the Seventies as a solo pianist, later adding a rhythm section of bass and percussion, a combination that earned the Mac Frampton Triumvirate hundreds of college concerts. In the Eighties, Mac began to produce a variety of revues, including tributes to George Gershwin and to the music of the Thirties & Forties. In the Nineties his attentions turned to larger ensembles, first an acclaimed production entitled Music of the Night, and then The Hollywood Hills Orchestra, founded in 1995. More recent productions include a tribute to the music of the Seventies, and Mac’s latest production, Fanfare For The American Hero, honoring those who give it all to keep us safe. Along the way, Mac has released over 25 recordings. Mac and his wife Nancy, parents of two grown sons, live in Atlanta with their six cats.
