Danielle Roby holds a Bachelor's in Vocal Music from Old Dominion University and a Master's in Education from the University of Virginia. She has returned to performing after retiring as a choral music administrator from Norfolk Public Schools. Since retirement, she has performed as a vocal soloist with Tidewater Winds, the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, and in appearances with pianist Dr. Gad Brosch. Performance venues include Rivers Casino, Sandler Center, Zeiders American Theater, Ferguson Center, and Varia. She also maintains an active schedule as a Choral Conductor and Clinician when not performing. 

After 16 years in New York City, Annamarie Smith-Butz moved back to Tidewater in 1999 with her husband Wolf.  They met at the New York Swing Dance Society, when Wolf asked her, “Shall we dance?”  Having covered 28,000 miles playing Eliza in the national tour of My Fair Lady and Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, Annamarie also starred in such theatrical productions as Call Me Madame, Can Can, Shenandoah, Oliver! and The King And I.  She traveled around the world on Holland America Cruise Lines as a headline entertainer for two world cruises.  She produced and performed a one-woman show at the Village Gate in New York.  She is Past President of the Board of Directors of Virginia Musical Theatre and when Annamarie is not pursuing her love of music, she works as a program manager in the IT industry.    

Frank retired from the U.S. Marine Corps (as a full colonel) after serving over 37 years active duty in 2009. He's been singing all his life and grew up highly influenced by the music of the 40's,50's and 60's.

Frank Sings Frank entertains all over Hampton Roads (and elsewhere in the Northeast) at area restaurants, hotels, at senior living/retirement/assisted living communities, wedding receptions, bridal shows/expos, senior groups, charity fundraisers,of  and corporate events, festivals, and at annual WWII Air Shows in Virginia Beach and Reading, PA. For the past 10 years, Frank Sings Frank was a featured entertainer at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront as a "Live on Atlantic" performer and at the beautiful Virginia Beach "Town Center" plaza as an outdoor Summer entertainer.
