Ashby Frank
Mandolinist, Singer, Songwriter

Well, it’s been a while since I posted here. Sorry about that! I’ve been busy with things at home, and have been pretty busy on the road, too. The last few weeks have had me in Florida, Pennsylvania, and New York.

I’m pretty excited about going home for Thanksgiving this week, but of course I’ll be at Mashville on Tuesday before I leave. I hope I’ll see you there too!

After the Thanksgiving weekend, I’ll be leaving out with Special C for a week long tour of Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado. Another long drive, but it’s always nice to visit my friends in that part of the world.

The big news (at least in my world)  is that trip will be my last tour as a member of the Special Consensus.
I’ve had a blast being a part of the band for the last two and a half years, and working with Special C has allowed me to see parts of the world that I’ve never seen before and become known as a singer and songwriter. I greatly appreciate the opportunity Greg Cahill gave me to be associated with the Special C, and the friendships that have been created as a result of my time with the band. I’ll miss you guys, and wish you much success!

I feel like it’s time for me to start pursuing my own path in the music world, and I’m pretty excited about the road in front of me! We’ve already booked shows for the Mashville Brigade on the road for 2010, and hopefully will be adding more in the near future. On top of that I’ll be writing more, and hopefully performing as a freelance musician with other bands. I will also be getting started on my long delayed recording project in the near future, so all of you songwriters out there email me at ashby (AT SYMBOL) ashbyfrank.com if you have some songs to send my way.

Look for more info on what I’m up to right here on my site, and keep your eyes open for the Mashville Brigade in 2010!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
