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.

Mr. Holz not only allows the listener to embrace his vocal offerings, but the lyrics are pure, not just scripted but felt as if he experienced each cut somewhere down his life's journey. That is elegance in my eyes, for words do capture moments that sound may miss, therefore, the marriage of these two gifts makes this effort that much more well-designed and thought out.
