Club Fox Blues Jam - Frank Bey

The Club Fox Blues Jam is heaven on earth for Bay Area blues fans. Through the
efforts of a passionate group of local musicians, the hospitality of the Club
Fox and local sponsorship, the jam has become the most exciting event in the
area's fertile blues scene - and it's attracting both national and international
attention. Most importantly, the jam is the catalyst for bringing out more and
more blues fans to hear live blues at its spontaneous best.

Frank Bey, master of the art of blues, has been entertaining with
his God-given talent since the tender age of 4. Frank enjoyed singing with his
mother, Maggie Jordan ,who was a gospel singer, while growing up in Millen,
Georgia. In a short time he had acquired the lead vocalist role in small gospel
quartet called the Rising Sons. Accompanying him was his 5-year old brother and
another pair of cousins, ages 5 and 6.

Frank’s continued to sing
throughout the Southeast Region during his teenage years In the 1960’s. He took
advantage of an opportunity to tour with the Otis Redding Review. Here he
learned how to become personal with the audience and create an atmosphere of
excitement. Frank later joined Archie Jenkins and the Incredible Saxtons and
toured throughout the United States, Spain and Canada. He became discouraged and
left the music industry in 1977 after putting together a variety of bands and
suffering through a bag record deal.

Frank made a comeback in 1996 after
nearly 20 years away from the industry, forming several bands and finally
securing a permanent entourage.
