SUMMARY:Andy Frasco @ Higher Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Point Welcomes: \nAndy Frasco \nA Tour de Point Show\n \n  \nThursday\, December 9\, 2021  Doors: 7:30 PM / Show: 8 PM \nHigher Ground | South Burlington\, VT \n– Tickets and Event Info – \nBorn and raised in California\, Frasco’s first exposure to the music industry came not onstage\, but rather in an office. As a young teenager\, he worked with legendary indie label Drive-Thru Records and helped book bands like Hello Goodbye\, and by the time he turned 18\, he’d already moved to New York City for a gig with Atlantic Records. When the job fell through\, though\, Frasco made a leap of faith and decided to launch his own career as an artist\, taking everything he’d learned working with other bands and applying it to himself. \nEvery party has to end sometime\, though\, and while it seemed Frasco was living out his rock and roll dreams on his 2019 and early 2020 tours\, he was facing an internal darkness few knew about. \n“I hit a breaking point\,” he explains. “I was sitting alone in my van\, and I realized that I didn’t know who my friends were. Worse\, I didn’t know who I was. I was drinking too much\, I was addicted to cocaine\, and I was dealing with really heavy depression. I even contemplated suicide\, but I decided that if I’m fortunate enough to leave behind a legacy\, I didn’t want to be remembered just as some good-time party guy. I wanted to show people that I’m more than the crowd-surfing\, Jameson-drinking maniac they see onstage.” \nFrasco began writing poetry that eventually became songs. He wrote about despair and anxiety\, about friendship and growth\, about accountability and potential\, transforming the poems into defiant rock and roll anthems. These songs became his most recent album ‘Keep On Keeping On’ released at the beginning of the pandemic in April of 2020. \nLike many\, the pandemic hit Andy hard. He was once again feeling that ‘breaking point’ and he quickly transformed his high energy road show into a year long digital blitz of new music\, a 33 episode variety show (Andy Frasco’s World Saving ShitShow) which garnered 20 millions views\, a highly attended digital Dance Party and Andy further developed his already successful and compelling podcast (Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast). His variety show and podcast included interviews and musical performances by many notable guests such as Tony Hawk\, Kurt Vile\, Nathaniel Rateliff\, Kamasi Washington\, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and more.
