The French singer / guitarist started off as a post-hippie folk sensation in the late seventies, but his unique songwriting talent allowed him to grow into an artist that continues to inspire (one of his early singles was recently covered by Shakira) and amaze, up to his 2012 album of Dylan translations Vise le Ciel. Even though he always hires top shelf guitarists for his recordings and tours, Francis is a very passionate and gifted blues player himself.
