Neal Francis embarks on his North American Tour, starting with a live show at Chicago premiere outdoor venue, The Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park, Thursday, September 9th, 2021.

His non-stop touring is winning him bigger crowds as he serves up his own special sauce of New Orleans style throwdown funk and Hammond B3 rock-n-soul that gives one inspiration and a full body groove.

Check out his first single release, “Can’t Stop The Rain” (featuring Derek Trucks), from the upcoming In Plain Sight — available for pre-order now!
