About

Frankie Blydenburgh, a Co-Owner of Rockabilia, received his degree in Music Business from McNally Smith College of Music in Saint Paul, MN, in 2003. He spent the next several years running an independent hardcore record label, playing drums in touring punk rock bands, and working for companies in the industry such as ADA (Alternative Distribution Alliance), Liquid 8 Records, and Main Street Marketing and Promotions. He fell in love with the merchandising side of the business when he started working for Rockabilia. His position there led to a job offer from Hot Topic as the Assistant Rock Tee Buyer in City of Industry, CA, in 2006. He eventually relocated back to Minnesota to work once again for Rockabilia, but in a higher position. He then worked his way up to become an owner in 2017.
