One of those “spokes” happens to be one of the most respected in the business of independent radio and marketing promotion, Frank Roszak. Frank has been and still is an engineer, mixer, producer, promoter, marketing wizard and radio persona extraordinaire. His experience and versatile background has made him one of the essential people to know in the blues business.
