Welcome The Last Troubadour

The Last Troubadour is an alternative band from Cincinnati who records and performs their own original music. This 4 person band has played at the Madison Theater, MOTR Pub, the Southgate House, Northside Tavern, and more. The band includes Frankie’s brother Bernie (Drums/Percussion), and friends Joe Von Wahlde (Lead Guitar), and James Wallace (Bass). Being the creative powerhouse of the band, Frankie Hill has derived his lyrics from a comic book series he created titled, “The Last Troubadour”. His lyrics follow the story line of the comic and cover themes such as love, grief, anger, and despair, as well as revolution, glory, and hope for the future. The music itself has been inspired by bands like Coheed and Cambria, Rush, Muse, and Weezer to name a few.
