Jim McDevitt is a literary genius:

“Born To Run in New Jersey, Matt Francis developed his sound in DC bars where he built a loyal fan base. His sound can best be described as a mix of the Alternative Country sound of bands like Whiskeytown and Old 97’s with the lyrical honesty of Tim Kasher and Daryl Palumbo. His last band, Kodiak, was a Blues-Rock outfit that was reminiscent of Exile-era Rolling Stones. Despite having moved around the country for the last five years living in Washington DC, Nashville, and Boston Matt Francis has not forgotten his roots in New Jersey which is apparent in the strong influence of Bruce Springsteen and Brian Fallon. Matt Francis writes songs for blue-collar boys who can’t catch a break with lines that make the girls they love weak in the knees and with a back catalogue of nearly one hundred songs he is never short of things to say.”
