They have it billed as a co-bill on that poster. If he was just opener i would think it would say w/ Andy Frasco
It says “w/ Andy Frasco” on the salt shaker
I get what you’re driving at though

I was hoping this run would be a chance for Bort holiday reunions, and I’m not gonna let Frasco ruin it for me. If i use my yearly hall pass properly, I’ll be on too many drugs to care.
If this is actually a co-bill I’ll be super bummed. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but I don’t get the appeal of Frasco whatsoever.

UM is a fantastic band to get down with, party on.
Frasco is like the pop of the jam world. Easily consumed by the casuals, doesn’t require a ton of facilities to enjoy it. Once you move into the actual jambands like UM, tDB, Cheese, Panic and Phish you find less of a need tor the jamband lite that Frasco represents. He’s every negative stereotype of the scene put into an act, maybe that’s why it doesn’t sit right.
That’s just like, my opinion, man
I can’t imagine anyone is using Frasco as a gateway to the jam world

Probably not. I was reaching for a point, probably way off base like usual. Carry on

The U.N. IS the gateway

Frasco is a caricature of the jam band world, much like how I look at Scrambled Greg or Mihali or whoever. Not my cuppa.

Scrambled Greg and Mihali are both incredibly more talented than Frasco. Or rather, in my experience Frasco isn’t going out of his way to display musicianship on stage.

Yea but he drinks liquor and eats mushrooms on stage so its cool
That’s kinda what I’m driving at, in a way. I’ve seldom caught clips of his shows that make ya go “holy shit, how did you do that with an instrument”. It’s more “holy shit, why did you do that”
