The John Francis is a San Francisco, California-based singer, guitarist and songwriter, currently signed to Rerum Novarum Records. The John Francis is the stage name of a single musician, Jack Francis ("né" Small). His current band bills itself as The John Francis Impostors, and features a rhythm section of Ilk Koskelo of We Be The Echo on drums and Paul Slack of Planets on bass. Many other musicians occasionally contribute to his performances and recordings, including Myke Stryker, Nigel Pavao, John Vanderslice, Matt Bauer, Jason Kocol, Michael David Murphy and brother Brian Small.

Francis's music is notable for its diverse musical genre influences, which combine to form a melting pot of grunge, country, classic rock and rock opera; his music has been described as Neil Young meets Bauhaus [http://sf.flavorpill.net/mailer/issue102/] .

Francis was previously part of the group Bm Relocation Program, a Bay Area based experimental rock project with Graeme Nicholls, Ilk Koskelo and Myke Stryker of We Be The Echo, and Bert Garibay of Last Of The Blacksmiths.
