About Pete Francis

A New England native, Francis first came to fame in the late 1990s as a founding member of alternative roots powerhouse Dispatch, whose remarkable rise from Middlebury College to Madison Square Garden helped rewrite the rulebooks for modern indie bands. It was the sheer joy of the band’s legendary early performances that helped the band’s fan base swell online. That joy has been recaptured on Pete Francis’ newest solo venture, entitled Neon Light Blind.

“In this new group of songs I wanted to write from my heart to other people’s hearts in the most direct way possible,” Pete Francis says.

Neon Light Blind follows his 2023 release PTRN SKY as Francis’s second self-produced project. You can smell the home cooking on Neon Light Blind as it was self-recorded at Dragoncrest, the studio in his Connecticut home. The album features Pete’s backing band, with Kenny Shaw on drums, Andy K on bass, Ben Higginbotham (of Cypress) laying down the rhythm tracks and vocal harmonies, and Pete’s wife Katie on vocals. The songs on Neon Light Blind were co-written with Grant Michaels (Weezer, Sia, Banners), and take influence from reggae and soul standards that have always been a part of Pete’s musical identity. To that point, the EP was released in May 2024 on reggae imprint Dubshot Records via ADA/Warner Music.
