Pete Francis of Dispatch

From the stages of sold out arenas to the most intimate club settings, New York Citys Pete Francis has been delivering his signature sound for over a decade. Known for his sincere songwriting and evocative lyrics, the former singer/songwriter of the indie sensation Dispatch is continuing to make waves, this time as a solo artist. Featuring a coolly laid back and sometimes philosophical musical style, Francis work is timeless. Dispatch fans and new fans alike have a dynamic energy for Pete Francis. Iron Sea and the Cavalry, released on his own Scrapper Records through Red Eye Distribution, contains ten classic Pete Francis tracks. Iron Sea is a body of work that represents renewal, hope, and courage while tapping into the wanderlust of the human spirit. Francis rips through folk, jam, rock, pop and reggae cuts, while still maintaining his own instantly recognizable sound throughout. Press play on any of the tracks from his five albums and youll hear beautifully orchestrated instrumentation layered with illustrative and revealing lyrics. Francis continues to create new and different styles to reinvent his craft. You never quite know what the next song will sound like. For his Spring 09 tour, Francis will join forces with young roots rockers Barefoot Truth. This run will see the bands playing as one combined act, showcasing tunes from both the Pete Francis and Barefoot Truth catalogs. In between these dates, Francis will also be performing select solo shows. He is currently working on new material for his next album. Stay tuned!
