From Cruise Ships to Foo Fighters: A Chat with Ashby Frank

from The Acoustic Shoppe Knows People (A Podcast About Acoustic Instruments, Music, & Artists)

What do "Brown Eyed Girl" on a Caribbean cruise and the Foo Fighters have in common? Ashby Frank joins the podcast to reminisce about growing up as the son of a District Attorney in the heart of North Carolina's picking culture, and how a Christmas wish for an electric guitar accidentally launched a mandolin career. We dive into his work with the Earls of Leicester, his songwriting process, and why he’s ready to face the "rage-bait" of the bluegrass world with his newest single.
