Jonathan Francis, who is formerly the bassist with The Moms, and now releasing music with his solo project, joins me this week. We talked about his most recent release which is a modern version of Woody Gutherie's song "Tear the Fascists Down." That was the first of many upcoming songs that should be on everyone's radar. There is an EP coming our way and in the spring there will be more music, possibly even a full-length album. We also discussed Jonathan Francis' path to his solo project after transitioning from The Moms, moving to Asbury Park and how that gave him even greater access to the music community -- the change from the move stirred something up in him. Continuously, we chatted about working with Pete Steinkopf (The Bouncing Souls) in the studio, the process behind creating these songs, influences while growing up, burning CDs during a time before Spotify & Bandcamp, staying true to yourself as a musician, getting involved with record labels, and so much more. Give Jonathan Francis a follow!
