Framing Hanley features band members Nixon, Tim Huskinson, Brandon Wootten, Luke McDuffee and Chris Vest. The “Hanley” in the band’s name is a tribute to a friend, Ashley Hanley, who died tragically in a car accident in October 2006.

“Ashley was our biggest fan. She was a tireless promoter of our music and she was an anchor for us emotionally. She was a best friend to the band,” said Nixon. As another tribute to her spirit and support, the band continues to put her name on each show’s guest list. In less than a year, the band has written and recorded their debut album, achieved heavy rotation on Sirius’ satellite rock station, been played on over 50 radio stations nationwide and they recently broke the top 40 on the active rock charts. Multiple stations continue to receive top requests for “Hear Me Now”. Framing Hanley’s MySpace, YouTube and Purevolume traffic is also growing at a staggering pace.
