NYC's own Pete Francis (of dispatch) joins DSO this Saturday

Francis began is career with the band dispatch and played for almost ten years with them. The three members of dispatch released four studio albums, a live CD, a DVD under their own label. They gained dedicated fans without the assistance of a major record company and became pioneers in the music industry, an almost impossible feat to reach in today's world. The band went on to sell more than 600,000 albums as well as experienced three sold-out nights in Madison Square Garden in New York City, they made history as the first independent band to headline the garden. After the band split up Francis continued his philosophical musical style and released five albums as well as played large venues and festivals across the country including Langerado, Wakarusa, and the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. Saturday night he will join the solo looping freak show Keller Williams as well as the "cover band for people who don't like cover bands" the Dark Star Orchestra for a night of music on the new Beach at Governors Island.
