Neal Francis

Neal Francis (born Neal Francis O’Hara) is an American musician based in Chicago, IL, whose music is steeped in New Orleans rhythms, Chicago blues, and early 70s rock. Ohio-based Karma Chief Records (a subsidiary of rising soul label Colemine Records) released his debut LP "Changes" in September 2019. It provides connection between Francis’s childhood—his obsession with boogie woogie piano, his father’s gift of a dusty Dr. John LP—and the songs he’s created.
