Jack Francis
Singer/Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jack Francis’ musical journey started as a teenager. After more than 10 years of honing his craft performing in pubs, clubs and venues around the UK. A stint writing Pop songs for a publishing house followed. This became the catalyst for Francis to focus his attention on recording and releasing his own music the way he wanted it to be heard. During a break between the lockdowns of 2020, his self-titled debut album started production with the help of old friends Ferris & Sylvester at their home studio in Wiltshire. Upon its release, the songs from his debut were championed by the likes of Janice Long, Tom Robinson, Ricky Ross and Iain Anderson all across the BBC. A string of festival appearances in the UK & Europe followed in the summer of 2022, before starting work on his second album in September of the same year. Francis’ second record, entitled ‘Early Retirement’ is due for release in the Spring of 2024. A personal collection of songs demonstrating a more diverse sonic palette, as well as his acerbic wit, ‘Early Retirement’ compounds Jacks experiences navigating modern society and fallen dreams.

“Hauntingly wonderful acoustic tunes tinged in old school Americana.” - Southampton Music Magazine
