About this episode
Episode Notes Support the Mandolins and Beer Podcast at my Patreon page! My guest this week is Ashby Frank. Growing up in central North Carolina, Frank was something of a prodigy as a teenager on mandolin, though he is proficient on multiple instruments and as a singer. After college he moved to Nashville and worked for a time with Special Consensus and the Marty Raybon Band before settling into his comfortable role as a first call fill-in for top touring acts. Over the years you may have seen him on stage with Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Lonesome River Band, Earls of Leicester, or with one of his all-star side project groups, Mashville Brigade or The Likely Culprits. These days he goes out with Mountain Heart. To keep up with Ashby follow him on Facebook or Instagram . Here is a link to the camp that Megan Lynch Chowning puts on for jams!
