Scott Baston (lead vocals/rhythm guitar) spent over a decade traveling, writing, and performing with nationally touring rock band Moonshine Still. Now with the fire and spirit of a down home Georgia gospel church on revival Sunday, Saint Francis shows have been known to transport you to a higher musical plane of existence.

Joined by accomplished musicians in their own right, Jeremy Johnson (lead guitar/vocals), Carlos Enamorado (bass guitar), Scott "Boss" Hogg (keyboards), Frank Registrato (drums/vocals), and Mark Van Allen (pedal steel/lap steel/ guitar/dobro/vocals); round off this unique brotherhood. You will be baptized in a wave of musical influences on tides that run from blues to bluegrass, rock to reggae, world beats to soulful treats. You can safely say there is something for everyone when it comes to the music these gentlemen are producing.

With clean soaring vocals , and a highly developed musicianship, Saint Francis has a clear vision of how to get down to the bare emotion of the innermost soul, but also showing that they are not afraid to rock. This musical message enables the players and listeners to become one.

Remember, FREE ADMISSION with a 2011 Bragg Jam Patron badge or a PGROOVE ticket stub.
