Long time festival favorite Andy Frasco first hit the road at 19 years old with all gas and no brakes. It wasn’t until the past year or so that the frizzy haired frontman took a much-needed step back to reevaluate his priorities. With a clearer focus on the road ahead, the now 37-year-old has managed to kick it into second gear, shifting between musical styles without sacrificing his own.
Before Andy Frasco & The U.N. return to Jannus Live in December, the L.A.-born songwriter took some time to discuss his new album, Growing Pains, and his recent mindset shift from party trick to poet.
Tickets to see Andy Frasco & the U.N. play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Dec. 6 are still available and start at $39.56.
So, you’ve been touring nonstop for years, with only a couple of two-or-three-week breaks each year. When you have nearly a month off like this, what becomes your priority? How do you spend your downtime?…
