I first became aware of Andy Frasco & The U.N. back in 2021, hearing their unbelievably catchy “Dancin’ Around My Grave.” I dove further into his catalogue, and when I saw he was playing at The Lodge Room, I went to check them out. As you might have read, I was blown away by the show.
Along with being an incredible touring musician, Frasco is also the host of Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast, which has has more than 45 million downloads. Along with his usual brand of humor, the podcast finds Frasco interviewing a range of guests (including Craig Finn, BJ Barham, Tony Hawk, Kurt Vile, Nathaniel Rateliff, Kamasi Washington, Margaret Cho and Morgan Wade) about serious matters of mental health, substance abuse, music, sex and life.
Frasco is busy this summer, playing festivals and getting ready to release his latest album L’Optimiste this August 11th. Thankfully, he still found thirty minutes to talk with me. You can watch the interview above (and apologies in advance for the bad sound and occasional frozen frame on my end).
You can also watch the video for Frasco’s single “You Do You” below, listen to the latest tracks from his album here and dig into his amazing podcast here. And if you have a chance to see Andy Frasco & The U.N. live, do it!
