GAR FRANCIS BAND
Belvidere, NJ Nov.22 2009,
SHOWTIME presented the GAR FRANCIS band.
A dynamic acoustic band which delivered an unplugged MTV style performance this last Sunday afternoon in SHOWTIME.
With all original songs, the audience wanted more from this talented band.

The GAR FRANCIS band is lead by Gar Francis on vocals/guitar, Lee Fink on slide guitar, Rocco Scavone on the box and Danny Caruso on acoustic bass.
Gar Francis is know as the songwriter of the Legendary 60’s garage rock band the Doughboys whose debut album (after 40 years) “Is It Now?” produced the hit single "Black Sheep" that was voted #2 “Coolest Song In The World for 2008” on Little Steven’s Underground Garage. And currently wrote and recorded songs for The Doughboys second CD “Act Your Rage” which also produced the new single “I’m Not Your Man”, that Little Steven’s Underground Garage has picked for “Coolest Song In The World” for the week of September 5, 2009.

Also Gar wrote and produced for the New Jersey Blues Diva Jeanne Lozier "Queen Of Your Dreams". You will also find Plainfield Slim who is the blues alter ego of singer/songwriter Gar Francis whose released two Mississippi Delta Juke Joint Blues albums that are receiving currently radio air time world wide.

In an unique decorated place called SHOWTIME, the GAR FRANCIS band was a perfect match in SHOWTIME. The band took their audience on a mystical journey through the hills where they met for the first time "Marlene" then down to "The Bank of the River", and passing beautiful "Palaces" on the way to "Ol' Toms River" and back to a bottle of "Whiskey".

The second set started with a song that left the audience in ohs when they saw the WWII color footage that was worked into a beautiful music video and played on a large flat screen tv. The song is called ROCKET; a tribute to all our Veterans. With representation of the USO and a member of the military, the band received a personal thank you and memorial pins from the USO representative for the song ROCKET.
The GAR FRANCIS band lives up to the high quality of music and performances that we are known to find from artists like Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. The band played two full sets.

If you missed this great performance, you don't want to miss it next time. The GAR FRANCIS Band will return to SHOWTIME in the early Spring of 2010.
