Hello everyone! Please see the details below!
Guitar League - Third Monday of each month. 7-9 pm
Guitar League
Monday, March 16th 7-9 p.m.
Presenter: Frank Busch
Frank Martin Busch grew up on a farm outside the rural community of Cuba City, Wisconsin. The youngest of seven children in a musical family, Frank began reluctantly playing music on saxophone and drums, even playing a few shows with his fathers Big Band Orchestra. It wasn't until he left the small town for The University of Wisconsin and commondeered his college roommates Stratocaster, that he truly fell in love with music.
Teaching himself to play, sing and write songs, Frank's journey has been slow, painful and deliberate.
Upon graduating he founded his first band The Mighty Short Bus, and is a founding member of midwest troubadours WheelHouse. The two bands have released 8 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, He marries the storytelling of a country songwriter with the musicality of a bluesman and a sense of humor that rivals your grade school best friends 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. He is the father of 3 and has a dog named Floyd.

BREAKOUTS:
Rookies: Right Hand Dynamics
Are you always fixated on your left hand? Trying your hardest to make sure your fingers are in the right spot and move smoothly from Chord to Chord? Well, of course that is important but we shouldn't forget about the right hand! In this breakout we will focus our attention on the right hand as the “rhythm” section of the guitar and some easy ways to give personality or dynamics to a song. Using your right hand can really add to your sound! This group will be playing John Denver’s “Some Days Are Diamonds" as well as the Irish Song "Will Ya Go Lassie Go". A big thanks to Lorne Hanson for running running this breakout.
