After more than four decades of touring, writing, and producing new music Frank Cosentino realized he needed to change his lifestyle.
“I overcame the challenges of addiction and got sober seven years ago,” he stated. “With renewed inspiration, I returned to songwriting with increased focus and energy.”
After working with producer Derek Downham at Studio Cardinal Toronto, Cosentino is ready to release his next album to the world.
The upcoming album, aptly titled ‘COMEBACK’, includes his soon-to-be-hit ‘VIBIN’, which will take over the airwaves on July 23, 2024.
“The story of ‘VIBIN’ symbolizes my journey,” he explained. “Fate guided me towards collaboration with Juno-winning producer Derek Downham. Together we brought my newfound creativity to life. Throughout the process, my progress was evident and I emerged as a stronger writer, player, and human.”

Cosentino’s guitar driven blues rock, combined with his poetic lyric style, will wow fans and newcomers to his music alike. Inducted into The Blues Hall of Fame as a Master Blues Artist in 2017, Cosentino is considered a real gentleman of the blues, making it his mission to keep the art of blues guitar growing and moving forward.
His new music does just that – drawing on his past experiences, which include sharing the stage with greats like Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, and Jeff Healy, and new blues talents Sue Foley, Phillip Sayce, and Anthony Gomes, Cosentino creates new classic blues in his personal style.
“It’s been my personal goal as a producer to work with other artists who have a grand understanding of their respected genres and Frank Cosentino has been a lifelong stalwart of blues and a ferocious lead player,” stated Downham, who plays keyboard, drums and bass on the track.
Frank’s goal is to ignite and stoke the flames of ambition at the heart of the listener. A song that pushes forward against the naysayers and gatekeepers, the hero is within each and every one of us but you can’t wait for the call. We ultimately walk alone into the ring to face the variables life hurls at us. Weather the storm and your reward is truly living a life fulfilled.
