Summary

Successful indie artist and podcaster Andy Frasco speaks with MMP host Darrell Craig Harris from his hotel room in Tennessee about his current tour, new album release, his World Saving Podcast show, and so much more! Andy Frasco & The U.N. have long been the high-flying DIY renegades of the touring scene known and loved for their kaleidoscopic musical fusion, one-of-a-kind onstage audacity, and contagious party-animal energy. The band’s recent full-length LP ‘L’Optimist’ celebrates their longevity, while giving way to a wiser, but no less enthusiastic, artist and band leader who isn’t afraid to lean into the introspective and explore more difficult terrain, lyrically and emotionally. “We’re not going to be able to change the world, but we can at least help the process along by being optimistic that the future will turn itself around. And if everyone changes their mind state about the future, then maybe we can change the world! https://www.AndyFrasco.com Social Mediahttps://www.Instagram.com/andyfrasco PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
