Emily Francis Trio

Described as a “thing of rare beauty” by Jazzwise, the Emily Francis Trio knows no bounds as they continue to wow audiences across the country.

Featuring Emily on keys along with bass maestro Trevor Boxall and drum superstar Jamie “Drumcat” Murray, the band pride themselves on delivering a high energy show guaranteed to keep you on your toes.

With a fascinating mix of influences including artists from the current US electro-jazz scene, such as Donny McCaslin, Kneebody and FORQ, prog supremos Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Peter Gabriel, and jazz icons Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, and Avishai Cohen, the Trio have created an accessible, yet harmonically rich landscape of melody and groove.

And, in addition to the Trio, the band combines their collective experience from work with other projects and artists, including Tim Lefebvre, Robben Ford, Camilla George, Shez Raja, Connor Selby, Jo Harman, Rumer and many others across the musical spectrum.

Currently touring to support their latest live album "Atomic Tour Live", the Trio offers a truly fresh and unique take on contemporary jazz.“Francis transcends her many influences to create a sound that is very much her own, skilfully blending acoustic and electric elements to create a rich tapestry” The Jazz Mann; “A band with a fresh and very alive sound with a keen ear for progressive jazz” MusicIsMySanctuary.com; “There are strong cinematic and prog undertones to the music here, creating a vibe that’s somehow both modernist and retro futuristic” Prog Magazine; "For anybody who has seen them at a gig, Atomic Tour Live is an essential souvenir, but it’s a recording that also stands up on its own merits.

There’s some terrific writing and playing here." The Jazz Mann
