Andy and Julie Frame lead the lives of a modern-day Renaissance man and wife. The Lake Worth-based couple has recorded a CD together, and both of the Frames are accomplished photographers. A multi-instrumentalist, Andy also has played drums for rock trio the Powercats (thepowercats.com ), with vocalist/bassist Geoff Livingston and guitarist/vocalist John Smotherman, for nearly a year.
The couple’s CD Grow, recorded under their band name The Mosaics (myspace.com/mosaicsmusic ) is available at CDBaby and iTunes. It documents the Frames’ past eight years in South Florida, where the two Indiana natives moved in 2001. Songs like the title track and Lift Our Voices feature Julie’s aching lead vocals and veiled, autobiographical lyrics. Andy impressively composed the music and plays guitar, keyboards, bass and drums.
The subject matter involves Julie’s difficult delivery of the couple’s son Jack, now 5, plus the trials and tribulations of eventually leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the religion they’d each been raised in since childhood.
“It was the most difficult thing we’ve ever done,” Andy says. “But recording the CD became a source of therapy for us.”
Another was photography. The couple shoots commercial, architectural and wedding photos through their Indigo Blue Studios (IndigoBlueStudios.com ). Andy also works for his sister’s consulting business; Julie has an additional self-titled Web site for her child, family and pet photography as she cares for Jack and daughter Sadie, 15.
See Andy Frame with the Powercats from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. tonight at Scooter’s, 8913 S.E. Bridge Road, Hobe Sound (772-546-6235 ).
