Frank Myers grew up in Dayton, Ohio and graduated from Northridge High School.
Frank Myers returns yearly to hold a concert, ‘Country on The Ridge’ as a fundraiser for the school’s Alumni Hall of Fame. His father, Melvin ‘Pee Wee’ Myers, was a champion fiddle player and singer, who taught Frank how to play the guitar.
Frank Myers started performing at the age of eleven. After winning a local contest called Star Trail, he started opening shows at Dayton’s Hara Arena. He still has close ties with the community.

During his time in ‘Country Earth’, Frank Myers met his wife Belinda Watkins; they married on Saturday 7 June 1980.
In 1981, Frank Myers and his wife, Belinda, moved to Nashville, in order for Frank to pursue his career in the music business. Frank Myers was hired by Eddy Raven as a guitar player, and later became the band leader and road manager for Eddy Raven.
It was within this time, while working for Eddy Raven, that Frank Myers started writing, playing and co-producing songs.
Eddy Raven and Frank Myers produced two No.1 hit singles, five No.2 hit singles and three Top 10 songs, including ‘I Got Mexico’, ‘Bayou Boys’, ‘You Should’ve Been Gone By Now’ and ‘Sometimes A Lady’.

At the time of the release of Frank Myers’ first solo album, ‘Scrapbook’ (FJM Productions, 2006), he was quoted as saying:
‘It’s taken many years to put this CD together. I always resisted doing one because I know I’m not a great singer. But with that being said, I came to realise, when I perform at different functions, that the people didn’t really care, they just want to hear the writer sing their songs.
So, with a lot of encouragement from different people, I decided to put together a ‘Scrapbook’ of hits that I’ve been blessed with over the years.
To all the fans, who not only called in and requested the songs, but went out and bought a record, I hope you enjoy my versions of the songs you helped make hits!’
