Neal Francis

Chicago-based soul piano genius Neal Francis took the crowd by surprise with his explosive set at the Waterfront Festival in 2019. Since that time, Francis hit the much bigger festival circuit and released a new album, In Plain Sight. The album furthers his reputation of carrying on the tradition of Dr. John and Allen Toussaint while stamping his own Chicago brand on the music. With Carlile.
