Italian-American Francis Rodino's sound is unmistakable whether live or recorded. His colourful pastiche of chiming guitars, radio-friendly hooks and soulful vocals is powerfully melodic and expressive. The songs he writes and performs are simple yet reveal an intensity that captivates his audiences. They are instantly memorable and in combination with his deeply expressive musicality, Francis Rodino is able to touch a live audience with an ease which is rare and distinctive.
