Frank Bua
January artSPARK Artist of the Month
Frank Bua provides the beat for one of the most recognized bands to come out of Louisiana – The Radiators. As drummer for the iconic Radiators, Frank has been a part of a historic 33 year career.
The Radiators were formed in 1978 and have created a repertoire of more than 300 original songs. The influences of the band are varied, ranging from New Orleans artists Dr. John and Jelly Roll Morton to blues performers Jimmy Reed and Muddy Waters. Music from the sixties and seventies also plays an extremely important role in the “Fish Head” music of the Radiators.
Frank has always been an integral part of the group’s high energy and eclectic concert style. Whether performing at Tipitina’s or providing entertainment for the Krewe of Mystic Orphans and Misfits, Frank Bua has delighted many music lovers in St. Tammany as drummer for The Radiators.
