FRAME is Caitlin Frame who currently records and resides in Brooklyn, NY. Composing songs of love gone awry and anxious thoughts, all emotion untangles with her mature pop-sensibility. Her debut single, "Run Around" strung us along for a ride of growing pains while simultaneously adding a sense of comfort. A neoteric blanket covers and lulls you with wistful lyrics while somehow striking a chord much deeper.

The project is a sophisticated pop statement that immediately grabs your attention with spunky hooks and gritty vocals. Entirely self-produced and recorded, visualize an eminent self-assurance syndicated with 70's soft-rock and R&B influences. All displaying an illumined taste of what forthcoming album, POLARIZER beholds; due in summer of 2014.


Johnny Lewis melds the north-country sound of acoustic guitars with progressive Americana, unique lyrics and electronic ambiance, replanting the poetic verse into a timeless songwriting style for a new generation of listeners. He releases his self-titled debut album on Sept 23, 2014.

Johnny Lewis' musical background is not that of the ordinary Folk Artist. Stemming from Minneapolis, MN, Johnny moved to Colorado in 2008 to pursue electronic production for a number of touring acts including The Larva Ink, Lizzo, Bokonon and many more. Accepted into the festival community, Lewis opened extensively for national acts such as The Flaming Lips and EOTO, but after tirelessly working in the electronic world, Lewis came to terms with his obsession for acoustic music. This in turn, drove him away from production and into his passion - writing songs.

Johnny grew up listening to music from a world he didn't belong to. His uncles would listen to the crackling records of Charley Patton, Chet Baker, Johnny Hartman and Bob Dylan, which drew Johnny to the acoustic guitar at the age of twelve and played songs by legends all the way through high school.

After his stints in Colorado and Minneapolis, Johnny began slowly moving away from the electronically oriented acts he had formed and the scene he had engrained himself in and moved to New York City to start his music career over. He wrote dozens of songs in a short amount of time and decided it was time to release his first solo record.

Johnny Lewis' self titled debut is a is a gorgeous fusion of dream-folk, Americana and meticulously layered production, combining all spectrums of Lewis' passions. Lewis now resides in New York City.
