  • Bio

    Plainfield Slim is the blues alter ego of singer/songwriter Gar Francis. Guitarist and songwriter for the Doughboys whose song "Black Sheep" from the acclaimed first album "Is It Now?" was voted by Little Steven's Sirius radio show The Underground Garage listeners as the 2 "Coolest Song In The World" for the year 2008. " From the second album "ACT YOUR RAGE" by the Doughboys I'm Not Your Man" is 3 "Coolest Song In The World" for the year 2009. As well as solo projects under the Gar Francis name, there is Plainfield Slim & The Groundhawgs, a very raw, hypnotic, Mississippi type juke joint blues band. Band members include Lee Fink on slide guitar, fellow Doughboys Myke Scavone on harp, and Mike Caruso on bass, and Myke*s little brother Rocco Scavone on drums. Plainfield Slim & The Groundhawgs have recently released their second CD *When The Devil Hits Home* after much global success from *Another Mule In The Barn* the first Plainfield Slim album. Songs such as Dirty Girl, Moan, Hideout, Marlene, and Sweet Jesus have been receiving airplay around the world as well as here in the US. Both CD*s are available on CD Baby and as downloads on iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, etc. Plainfield Slim & The Groundhawgs bring a kind of excitement to the stage that is like no other blues band in the area. The songs are simple and right to the point and can make a grown man cry. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4hSeho35P-E?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4hSeho35P-E?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Moving on and turning out the lights...
    MySpace Clearance: Florida's online guide to live jazz & blues info is leaving MySpace.
    Hello MySpace Friend!
    Jazz & Blues Florida is bailing out of MySpace and focusing on our own websites now. We thought Facebook was the way to go, but now it looks like that is disintegrating, too.
    If you really want to connect to Florida's jazz & blues scene come check out our main site at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com and if you like what you see, shoot me an email and let me know  you want to sign up for our email list. You can opt for daily, weekly or monthly contact and change your mind at any time.
    If you are musician based or touring here, our listings are free - we just need to know about them. Use the email address below to send us the info.
    I am sure you understand the value of these connections and that nowadays providing that connection is your contribution to what keeps us going, like the money you used to spend on newspapers.  This is a one-time request. We will be deleting your MySpace connection after we send this out so you will not be hearing from us again here. 
    See you on the other side, where the good music is happening! Please excuse us if you are already over there, we had to do this as auto as possible due to the high number of friends we have to process.

    Hi Plainfield Slim! Just an update from the Equine Riding Team- The show is coming together really nicely for the fair for August 6th .
    The girls and the horses love your music from Plainfield Slim & The Groundhawgs.
    Wait till you see our riding routines they make your music come to live like a "Broadway Show" on horseback. Really cool. Thank you for sharing your talent.
