Frightened Cellar is a Brooklyn based narrative melodic piano punk artist. The classically trained pianist’s influences are varied and diverse. He has stated that his style has been influenced by Tom Waits, Ludwig van Beethoven, Kate Bush, Nick Cave, Richard Wagner, Nina Simone, Art Tatum, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, The Beach Boys and David Bowie. Raised in rural Iowa, Frightened moved to New York City in 2004 with two suitcases and a few dollars to pursue a career in music. After only a few short months in NYC, he had performed at several high profile venues including CBGB’s and The Knitting Factory and was signed to an independent record label. He parted ways with the now defunct record label and eventually he made the decision to go DIY. In 2009 he took a year long hiatus from the city. He returned to his roots in the countryside, but on the other side of the world. He moved to rural Japan to study traditional Japanese culture and music. While in Japan he met talented shinobue player Kazunari Abe. The two formed the band Sora Ocean, recorded an album and toured the country. Their debut album “88” will be available in the US August 24th 2010.
