Frank Martin Busch and the Names

Teaching himself to play, sing and write songs, Frank Martin Busch’s journey has been slow, painful and deliberate. Upon graduating, he founded his first band, The Mighty Short Bus, and is also a founding member of Midwest troubadours, WheelHouse. Combined, the two bands have released eight records and played over 3,000 shows over the past 16 years.

The Names is Frank's first foray as a true solo artist. He has brought back the Stratocaster and is living and dying by his ability to play it. Frank marries the storytelling of a country songwriter with the musicality of a bluesman and a sense of humor that rivals your grade school best friend’s dad. Often telling jokes and citing references you don't get till the next day.

Frank Martin Busch has won Isthmus Madison's Fave Singer/Songwriter for 2018 and 2019 and is WMMM Project M Songwriter competition season 3 winner.

This show is free and open to guests 21 & older.
