From Harrisburg, Illinois, Franko Teston is an up and coming craftsman of hooky alternative rock melodies, first with the band Mayfall and now solo alongside friends and bandmates Jake Evans, Garrett Phillips, and Cash Thomas. Franko’s songs are packed with emotion, and his melodies are both fresh and retro at once, owing as much to modern rock as grunge influences. Franko talks here with Burke Wasson about his plans to release an album this year, preparing to move to Indianapolis, and the psychology of how introverts feel more comfortable performing than interacting socially. This is a deep, fun talk, and Franko is a very nice guy as well as a talented singer songwriter. Follow Franko Teston on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. And hear his music on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube. Franko will release his next single, “A Note From Mom & Dad”, this Friday, March 7, on those streaming platforms.
