The New England Music Awards is proud to announce Connecticut artist and 2023 Act of the Year NEMA award winner Frank Viele to perform at the 2024 ceremony. This year’s show is scheduled for Sunday, November 10th at Six String Grill and Stage in Foxborough, MA.
Independent Connecticut musician Frank Viele is an unstoppable force, a quadruple-threat singer, guitarist, songwriter, and performer who belts out every song as if it were his last — his fingers dancing along the fretboard of his Breedlove guitar, his soulful, gravelly voice pushing out every note with conviction.
Winner of the prestigious New England Music Award in 2023 for “Act of The Year”, Viele has been touring the United States as a headliner and has been called to open tours for such noteworthy artists as John Waite , Allen, Mack, Myers, & Moore (f/ Zach Myers of Shinedown ), Lee DeWyze , Jeffrey Gaines , Howie Day, and more.
Musically akin to heartland rockers like Bob Seger , Bruce Springsteen , & John Fogerty, with a nod towards Southern Rock & Soul, in 2021 Viele made a trek to Muscle Shoals, AL - the birthplace of most of his biggest musical influences.
The result, a full-length album entitled “The Trouble With Desire”, that showcases Viele’s anthemic take on “Heartland Rock” that is set to release on 2/7/25.
In the last 18 months, leading up to his full length album release, Viele has dropped singles such as “Trying To Raise A Man”, “Necessary Evil”, and the title track to his upcoming album “The Trouble With Desire”, garnering him coverage from American Songwriter, Americana UK, NPR, No Depression, Americana Highways, Chorus FM, and countless other music taste makers as well as landing his music on over 20,000 Spotify playlists! With over 1 million streams on Spotify & YouTube alone and over 200 performances across the US in the last 2 years in the wake of his upcoming album release, Frank Viele continues to grow his reach and shows no signs of slowing down.
