Sam Francis is a singer-songwriter from Westborough, MA.\u00a0 He’s been writing for the last 7 years and while some songs have a straight up folk rock vibe, others serve as ambient soundscapes without lyrics.\u00a0 A lot of Francis’ early recordings were done in various apartment buildings with only a BOSS 4 track with on-board condenser mic.\u00a0 Elliott Smith’s early recordings were the inspiration for experimenting with multi-tracked vocals, guitar, and keys – and often times recording songs in 1 take, writing lyrics on the fly.<\/p>\n

Other influences in the beginning included Jerry Cantrell, John Frusciante, and Bob Dylan. \u00a0In 2008, Sam moved out to Phoenix, Arizona with a friend after getting his degree in Journalism.\u00a0 There he randomly met up with “Anthony,” a music producer found via Craiglist.\u00a0 The two collaborated and worked on the previously written “Koshabox” and “El Productivo.” \u00a0These are the most professional recordings Francis has done to date and can be found at his web site<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since then, Francis has moved back to Massachusetts and occasionally plays open mics in the area.\u00a0 Most notably the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA.\u00a0 He also plays in an Alternative Rock band called “Miranda” and they’ve been together for 4 years, having just released their 1st album.<\/p>\n
