In a gentle nod to the past, Neal Francis embraces the beauty of nostalgia. In 2022, this long-haired, piano-playing songwriter graced the World Cafe, sharing the warmth of his album, In Plain Sight, which resonated with the essence of 70s rock and R&B, recorded with care in a serene old church.

Now, he invites us to experience his new album, Return To Zero. With uplifting melodies and rich harmonies, Neal explores the vibrant world of disco and funk, all while maintaining his authentic sound, free from digital enhancements.

In a calming performance at WXPN’s Free At Noon concert in Philadelphia, Neal Francis serenades a live audience, blending songs from Return To Zero with cherished favorites. Allow the soothing notes and heartfelt lyrics to wash over you, creating a moment of mindfulness and relaxation.
