For better or worse, Andy Frasco has been married to the music industry since before he could grow facial hair. At just 16, Frasco worked for labels like Drive-Thru Records and Capitol, booking nationwide tours for his pop-punk heroes and wheeling and dealing on calls he’d take on the sly during lunch.

He’s been on road since he was 19 with his band Andy Frasco & the U.N.; played over 250 shows per year for more than decade; lived on bad bar food and slept in vans; and now, after more than a decade on the musical grind, he’s finally finding himself.

The culmination of those efforts is Wash, Rinse, Repeat, his latest album released via his own label, Fun Machine Records, in 2022. Written across the country with members of Dashboard Confessional, 3oh!3, Doom Flamingo, AWOLnation, and more, the record is a portrait of Frasco as a musician — and a man.

Dealing with everything from addiction (“Spill the Beans”) to breaking old romantic habits (“Grow Old”), fighting through the bad days to find the good (“Puff Break (Believe That)”), Wash, Rinse, Repeat stands as Frasco’s most complete, mature effort yet.

Born in the fertile mountains of Colorado, Tenth Mountain Division (TMD) is continuing the musical legacy set down by their forefathers. Tenth Mountain Division is a Denver-based outfit by way of the Colorado Rockies. The group consists of six members—Andrew Cooney (Bass/Guitar); Campbell Thomas (Piano/Percussion/Keys); Tyler Gwynn (Drums); MJ Ouimette (Guitars); Winston Heuga (Mandolin).

The group came together through a love of music and natural surroundings. While Gwynn holds down the heartbeat of their sound on drums, the rest of the crew pitches in on vocals in addition to their menagerie of instrumentation.

TMD has heavily toured throughout their home state, offering reverberation and acclaim felt throughout the country. This helped them nab performances at Summer Camp Music Festival, and support roles for acts like Leftover Salmon.
