This young self-taught guitarist, harmonica player and singer, appearing in solo version has already been able to impress audiences in prestigious festivals such as the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and the Pistoia Blues. He has opened for the father of British blues John Mayall, duetted with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, was two years on tour as guitarist David Van De Sfroos.
An explosive mix of blues, funk and soul in acoustic, this is the magic formula of the sound of Francis More, a prodigious one-man band that is defined by the magazine Guitar Club "a veritable force of nature."
