News / Concert Announcement / Interviews OK, go see Robert Francis
Posted By Jason Younger on Wed, May 12, 2010 at 10:33 AM
When we first met Robert Francis, he was releasing his second album, Before Nightfall, his first major label release (Atlantic), and was hitting the road to support the album. Now, just a few short months later, he will make his first appearance in the Queen City in support of OK GO! (Visulite Theatre, tonight).
Since our last talk, Francis has been all over, mainly overseas. When I caught up with him a couple of weeks ago, he was in Paris, after just completing stops in Germany. “The tour is going great. Overseas is amazing. I’m really getting a ton of support over here” describes Francis, “every show is sold out! Packed!”
As far as stateside support for his new release – “It’s starting to come around back home. I’m primarily opening for other acts right now, but the idea is to soon headline and really give the audience my show.”
