A soulful guitar-based blues/rock band with a powerful 70's/80's feel--bring your dancing shoes!

Fran Dagostino and his band have been performing, writing and recording together for 4 years now. They originally formed to perform 2 shows to promote Fran's 2 solo CD's (available on iTunes), but a serious friendship between the guys developed. They have a wonderful time together, playing and laughing and being like a band used to be, back in the old days.
