Some quotes from various media according to his bio:
“The reincarnation of Allen Toussaint.” Craig Charles, BBC Radio 6
“Think New Orleans meets the Midwest with a little bit of California sun shining in the background.” -TwinCitiesMedia.net
“There’s a good chance you’ll have heard of Francis by the time the year is over…classic Funk, Soul and R&B.” Cincinnati CityBeat
“…gleefully mired In 70s style funk.” - NPR
A child piano prodigy, he fell into addiction:
by 2015 he had been fired from his band, evicted from his apartment, and was perilously close to self-destruction. “When you get close to death like that you can feel it,” Francis recalls. An alcohol-induced seizure that year led to a broken femur, dislocated arm, and, finally, the realization that he needed to get clean.
Now sober, he's been heavily touring since. Here he is at KCRW.
I think I've heard this song on KUTX.

Yes, you have. He played Antone's recently with Kalu opening. Kalu doing an acoustic set, if I remember correctly. I thought about us going, but then forgot about it.
