John Francis
PRESENTED BY: CROW
DIRECTED BY: REV. JAY LEAL
Coming to you from the HARD ROCK CAFE in downtown Nashville, TN
BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH THERECORDSHOPNASHVILLE.COM, and REBEL REV. PRODUCTIONS
At 12, Francis started writing, recording, and performing. At 18, he
enrolled as a Literature and World Religions major at Messiah College
near Harrisburg, PA. There he immersed himself in the classics of
poetry and prose, honing his craft as a songwriter. During these
years, John played guitar for Gospel band on Sunday mornings. After
graduating, Francis traveled to Ireland where the musical traditions
of his family homeland added more fuel to the fire. He made his home
on the road for a few years, collecting songs from Appalachia to
American-Indian reservations
While living in Philadelphia, Francis released the critically
acclaimed "Strong Wine & Spirits". With the single "Heavy, Heavy
Love", the record garnered extensive radio play in the North East.
Drawing on the deep waters of Rock n roll, Folk, Country, and Gospel
music, Francis conjures the spirits of his eloquent brand of
songwriting.
Francis was honored by ASCAP as the recipient two national lyricist
awards. The prestigious Sammy Cahn Lyricist Award, for his song "Love
Came to Me Dressed in Red". (Previous winners include John Mayer and
Josh Ritter.) And recently he received the Jay Gorney Award for
socially conscious lyrics for his poignant song, "Who?"
Francis has played in some of the most renown listening rooms and
theaters in the U.S., Ireland, UK, Switzerland, and Germany.
He has shared the stage with Ray Lamontagne, Jeff Tweedy, Amos Lee, M.
Ward, Josh Ritter, Suzanne Vega, Rachael Yamagata, Rickie Lee Jones,
Andrew Bird, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Juana Molina, Peggy Seeger, Tom
Paxton, James McMurtry, Missy Higgins, Ollabelle, Pedro the Lion,
Denison Witmer, Dayna Kurtz, Kelley McRae, Amy Correia, Sonya
Kitchell, Serena Ryder, Steve Forbert, Mark Geary, Phil Roy, Peter
Mulvey, Kris Delmhorst, Freedy Johnston, Jeffrey Gaines, the Hooters,
and festivals with Steve Earle, Judy Collins, Aimee Mann, Rufus
Wainwright, Mavis Staples, and Arlo Guthrie.
John Francis now makes his home (when not touring 200+ days per year)
in Music City...Nashville, Tennessee. In Nashville, he recorded his
newest release 'the Better Angels' in the Cash Cabin Studio. Produced
by John Carter Cash in the fabled home studio of his parents Johnny
and June. 'The Better Angels' was released Nov.9, 2010. Featuring
legendary musicians: Kenny Vaughan (Lucinda Williams, Marty Stuart),
Ken Coomer (Uncle Tupelo, Wilco), Michael Rhodes (Sheryl Crowe, J.J.
Cale), Robbie Turner (Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson) and
featuring Rachael Yamagata with a vocal appearance, 'the Better
Angels' is a musical achievement. The record features the single
"Johnny Cash on the Radio" and the two songs for which Francis
received national songwriting awards.
