“I just wanted to be honest about everything, from my musical influences to my story,” Neal Francis says. After a life consumed by drugs, alcohol and addiction, such candor is remarkable for the 33-year-old Chicago musician. Leaving behind his self-destructive past, and with this newfound sobriety, Francis has created an inspired collection of songs steeped in New Orleans rhythms, Chicago blues and ‘70s rock ‘n’ roll.

On January 9th, his new single 'What's Left of Me' was released, which shows a positive sound from the reborn artist and is a preview of the album 'Return to Zero' which will be released on March 14th.
