Roy Francia Music Guitarist from Asheville, NC

Roy is originally from New Jersey, then lived in New York City for many years. He came to the Asheville area fifteen years ago in search of fresh air, beautiful scenery and animal-friendly people and has found all of this and more. Classically trained at the Juilliard School, he was a protege of New York jazz and studio great Joe Cinderella. He has worked as a singer and guitar player for weddings, private parties, corporate events, restaurants, bars, cafes, assisted living facilities, farmer's markets and spiritual/cultural gatherings. He put in some time as a lounge singer at seedy hotel bars (he ain't proud). He enjoys the company of all sorts of people and wants to make everyone comfortable enough to sing or clap along if they so desire, or comfortable enough to just relax, be themselves and enjoy the atmosphere.
