Artist Information
North Carolina-raised, Nashville-based singer/songwriter/mandolinist Ashby Frank stands out from the crowd. Since his arrival in Nashville, Frank has become known as one of Music City’s most valuable collaborators, and now he is releasing music of his own with Mountain Home Music Company.
His first single with the label, “Midnight Highway,” quickly topped Bluegrass radio charts as a broad range of listeners became acquainted with talents that industry observers have known about for years. He subsequently has three more number one hits.
Ashby’s resume also includes stints as a collaborative member of the Mashville Brigade and the Likely Culprits, as well as recordings and performances with a wide array of bluegrass and roots music mainstays, including the Earls of Leicester, John Cowan’s HercuLeons, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Mountain Heart, Jerry Douglas, and Special Consensus.
He’s scored as a hit songwriter, too, penning songs for Junior Sisk, Lonesome River Band, Marty Raybon, Amanda Cook, Dale Ann Bradley, Lindley Creek and more, and even taken on the world of comedy as a member of the Darrell Brothers.
In 2024 Frank won the coveted Instrumental Recording of the Year award from the International Bluegrass Music Association.
His highly anticipated new album Run This Town releases in July 2026.
