The Doughboys Celebrates George Harrison Concert

FPC's New York Celebrates George Harrison Concert - A Night Of Love And Bliss


The Doughboys - the hottest band in the New York / New Jersey Metro Area - are Rock and Roll legends. Formed in 1964, the group took the Doughboys name in 1966. Myke Scavone ( Lead Singer ), Gar Francis ( Guitar ), Richard X. ( "Richie" ) Heyman ( Drums ) and Mike Caruso ( Bass ) reunited in 2000 - after 35 years - and have been blowing audiences away - inside out - ever since.

The Doughboys are favourites of Little Steven, who features them on his Sirius/XM Satellite Radio Underground Garage Channel.

The Doughboys went straight for George's acerbic / insightful / witty side, starting with a powerful version of "Taxman" ( "Revolver" ), followed by a rollicking "Don't Bother Me" ( First song written by George to appear on a Beatles Album - "With The Beatles - UK / "Meet The Beatles" - US ), an electrifying "I Me Mine" ( "Let It Be" ) and a very determined "Think For Yourself" ( "Rubber Soul" ).

The Doughboys concluded their incredible set with "It's All Too Much" - a song from the "Yellow Submarine" Soundtrack. The group sent waves from the stage that took off to the ends of the Universe.
( "Yellow Submarine" - from "Revolver" - was adapted to become The Beatles only Feature length Animated Cartoon. )

The Doughboys performance left the audience absolutely reeling.

After the only Intermission of the Concert, it was time for Roberta Flack.

Roberta Flack is an icon of music - one of only two artists ( the other being U2 ) to win back to back GRAMMY Awards.

Gar Francis Acoustic coming to the Record Collector

Gar Francis Acoustic coming to the Record Collector May 27th at 7:30pm

Gar Francis, an award winning singer and songwriter has with his versatile songwriting style produced work in several genres, including blues, Americana, and garage rock. Delivering a blend of music that only solidifies the versatility of this musician from New Jersey.
Born and raised in the Garden State, one of Francis' earliest recollections of his love of music is attributed to listening to his uncle and cousins playing songs by the Everly Brothers on their guitars.
It was during the 70s that Francis made the serious decision to start writing music. One of his first songs, "Baby It's You" for the band Ricochet, became a local hit and the band was asked to perform on a live MTV broadcast.

He was later recruited into the garage rock band, The Doughboys, and wrote the hit "Black Sheep." Francis went on to write and record songs for the band's second CD "Act your Rage."
He also wrote and produced two garage blues albums, "Another Mule in the Barn" for his band Plainfield Slim, and "When the Devil Hits Home" for Plainfield Slim & the Groundhawgs.
Francis has been compared to Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, and he continues to produce and write music. Most recently, Francis wrote and produced "Lady Gaga" for the band The Swinging Iggies.
Francis' music career has spanned decades with a multitude of songs that have entertained audiences for years. For fans who enjoy music from the early 60s, the modern version of roots blues, or good ol' fashioned Americana, then Francis' talents as a performer and songwriter would be sure to please.
