Slim Francis is a soul infused rock outfit from NYC whose arching melodies & intricate textures recall the legendary artists of the seventies. The Brooklyn based band is led by Aric Carroll, an extraordinary songwriter, whose eclectic guitar stylings & improvisational vocals tell haunting tales of life & love in the big city. Laying down the beat is the renowned drummer Matt Johnson, a founding member of Jeff Buckley's band, who has played with esteemed artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Ricki Lee Jones, Duncan Sheik, Beth Orton, & John Mayer. A major player in the development of their sound is Steve Brown, original bassist & multi-instrumentalist who has lent his talents on all of their recordings before heading to the West Coast. His performance & arranging skills can be heard on the latest record On With The Show. Most recently Steve has collaborated with Grammy nominated producer & engineer, Jay Bennet, from the band Wilco, performing on the violin & upright bass.
