Musical Performance by Frank Martin Busch

Teaching himself to play, sing and write songs, Frank Martin Busch’s journey has been slow, painful and deliberate. Upon graduating, he founded his first band, The Mighty Short Bus, and is also a founding member of the Midwest troubadours and the Wheelhouse band. Combined, the two bands have released eight records and played over 3,000 shows over the past 16 years.Frank has brought back his Stratocaster and is living and dying by his ability to play it. Frank marries the storytelling of a country songwriter with the musicality of a bluesman and a sense of humor that rivals your grade school best friend’s 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 competed in the WMMM Project M Songwriter competition. He was the season 3 winner!
