RadioBypass Chat with Frank Hannon (Tesla)

December 06, 2023

Frank Hannon released a new single today, Fool's Delight. We are honored to have a chance to chat with Frank about his new single, playing with the Allman Betts Family Revival this month in Florida, his ambitious single from last year, Octopus, on which Frank played all the instruments, we talk about Tesla's latest album, Full Throttle Live, and their killer version of Aerosmith's S.O.S (Too Bad). We also talk about what is in store for 2024 for Tesla, as well as the band members individually. We even talk about Tesla the man! As two fans of music, we also just talk the Rock! We talk a bit about Judas Priest, Blackberry Smoke, Aerosmith, and Paul Rodgers. You will hear Frank's new song too, we play it at the end of our conversation, so stick around!

Short history of Frank .... Only 15 years old, guitarist Frank Hannon began playing in a band with bassist Brian Wheat. That band was called City Kidd. By 1986, City Kidd became Tesla, with Frank and Brian joined by Jeff Keith, Troy Luccketta, and Tommy Skeoch (Dave Rude replaced Tommy in 2007). Their debut album was Mechanical Resonance and they continue to release new music and tour extensively to this day.

If you are in Florida, you can catch Frank playing with The Allman Betts Family Revival on December 10 in Fort Pierce, December 12 in Sarasota, and December 13 in Jacksonville. For tickets and more information, visit https://www.allmanbettsfamilyrevival.com/

The mighty Tesla return to the road in January, starting in Immokalee, Florida on January 11.
