Franklin's Journey: From Garage to Stage on onstage music podcast

Franklin's Garage to Stage

Rob and Dana Franklin share their 30+ year journey as musicians in hard rock, metal, and blues, offering insights from both sides of the podcast mic. The brothers discuss their musical beginnings, touring experiences, and how they've maintained their passion while navigating the industry's challenges.
• Rob was inspired to become a drummer after seeing a live performance at his aunt's wedding
• Dana followed his brother's path, switching from guitar to bass when he discovered his natural connection to the instrument

• "Fool's Gold," an original song written by Dana, became one of their most successful tracks
• The brothers have toured with bands including Monolith from Reno and Eyewitness Blues from Sacramento
• They've opened for notable acts including Quiet Riot
• Teaching music helped Rob reconnect with the fundamentals of drumming
• Creating bands involves finding the right personalities, not just talented musicians
• Their podcast aims to help musicians navigate the journey from garage practice to professional performance
