Neal Francis w/ Side Montero September 1, 2026 • 6:00 pm DOORS 5:00pm • All Ages Sponsored by Meow Wolf --- NEAL FRANCIS Neal Francis is a Chicago-based singer, songwriter, and pianist known for blending psych-rock, funk, and ’70s dance influences into a richly analog sound. His third album, Return To Zero, channels heavy guitar riffs and groove-driven rhythms into a moody, dance-infused rock style shaped by years of touring and creative experimentation. Equal parts heady and hedonistic, pensive and euphoric, the album echoes both his deep-rooted psych-rock sensibilities and a lifelong affinity for classic funk. A seasoned performer who’s played major festivals and iconic venues, Francis continues to push his sound with ambitious, collaborative recordings rooted in vintage production and emotional depth. We are endlessly grateful to all our sponsors who make these events possible! THANKS TO THEIR SUPPORT, WE'RE HOSTING 50+ FREE EVENTS THIS SUMMER. --- VENUE: SANTA FE PLAZA SEATING: Standing or feel free to bring blankets or chairs ADA: Ask for accommodations
