Pete Francis is an American songwriter, known to the masses as singer/bassist/guitarist of Dispatch. To hear the music of Pete Francis is to hear a story unfold.  Rooted in tradition, yet uniquely untraditional, Pete Francis combines soulful vocals, heartfelt lyrics and sing-along melodies to form a sound entirely his own.  With the release of his new record (coming in March, 2008), Iron Sea and the Cavalry, Francis turns the page to a new chapter of his musical journey.  Full of rich tones, choice instrumentation and concise arrangements, the record is arguably Francis’ best work to date.

After an unprecedented run of reunion concerts with Dispatch at Madison Square Garden in July 07, Francis hits the road on his own, captivating audiences at colleges, clubs and festivals across the country.
