Ballerina Of The Bowery - New Single by Producer/Songwriter Gar Francis

Gar Francis wastes no time getting down to business and releases the next single "Ballerina Of The Bowery" on Bongo Boy Records.


Through it all Gar Francis’ durable song craft and creative lyrics are woven through a Bo Diddley Beat on this new single. Resulted in a song, that with no wonder to us all, created a powerful La Femme Garage Rock tune. This has been unseen for quite some time.


The music arrives buffeted to immaculate studio sheen, of course, with mastering, engineering done by The House Of Vibes’ Kurt Reil of the Grip Weeds.

Exceptionally vocal talents were used to record this new single written and produced by Gar Francis.

The alluring voice is coming from New York Rocker Jana Peri. Ms Peri brings a sophisticated style to the Rock & Roll table. Along with backup vocals by Jacob Callis both show no musical boundaries.

This gem “Ballerina Of The Bowery” immediately reveals her charms after just one spin. It is to nobody’s surprise that you will proudly wear this song as it sticks to your skin. You can easily see a whole New York street scene, as this Ballerina of the Bowery gets a hold of you with her daily dedicated passion for dance. It sets up a perfect movie scene!



There is a cathartic fade-out, featuring stinging guitar lines from Gar Francis, drum beats by Kurt Reil and fat thick bass licks from Jacob Callis concludes this rockin' track.

Ballerina Of The Bowery is available on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and other fine online stores as a digital download only.



Get it today and hear what they are talking about, without it you don't know Diddley !

Bordentown, NJ

The show was fun for everyone, young and old. You couldn't sit still in your seat when the band shaked their eggs and rattled their box.

In Review:
Aquarian weekly
“With the good time Farfisa vibe of ? And The Mysterians, sing along choruses and solid simple playing, the tune tackles roots 1960s territory with traditional style and class.
Gar Francis also guest stars on the single, playing organs, Mellotron, sax and the raunchiest guitar this side of the T. Rex.
Gar and the boys take basic 1960s roots language and turn it into an infectious good time performance that everyone can understand….. “
Reviewed by John Pfeiffer from the Aquarian Weekly

Sir Magazine
“The Easy Outs, have put an end to the old adage by perfectly capturing the vintage garageband sound of the 60's
with their single "Come On, Come On". The band has made a name for themselves by infusing
their music with the classic and nostalgic sounds of traditional rock music from the 60s & 70s.”

The Grouchy Gaijin's Thoughts on Music and Such
The organ around the edges reminds me of 1950's rock or perhaps a 1980's parody of 50's rock in the style of the
Dick the Bruiser Band. (Anyone out of Detroit will remember those guys.)
When you add simple lyrics to the mix Come On Come On cut me loose baby Come On Come On
you make a monkey crazy you have gold. Reviewed by: Grouchy Gaijin

Wildy’s World
Jersey Shore rockers The Easy Outs score big with "Come On Come On", a 1960's rock flavored pop tune complete with Back Beat and sing-along chorus
"Come On Come On" will make you want to dance and sing-along and party like they did before Disco was born.
