Listen to Francis Blume and you might just be transported to another world. A place cast in Technicolor (but with a touch of faint film grain) where men have an ironed crease in their slacks and women button their sweaters up almost all the way up to their neck. Cast in pinks and blues or in black and white the world might be cheeky and clean at least in front of the picket fences. Blume's interpretation of love and longing on his album “Lado De Loma” sit somewhere between Roy Orbison and Eddie Cochran (with a touch of Elvis) circa 1955 to 1965. 

In October of 2019, Francis Blume released his debut full-length album, "Lado De Loma". The album release show was held at Booze Brothers Brewery in Vista, CA with over 400 people in attendance (a record breaking night for the venue).

“Music has always had a profound effect on me; long before I ever picked up an instrument. At an early age, I was very in tune with how music made me feel. It was more than just the melody and the words, but it was the way the music moved me emotionally. Growing up, I listened to everything from The Beatles to Metallica, to Dr. Dre, and just about everything in between. It was less about identifying with a certain genre of music and more about what I could take away from the songs. I believe it was that mentality that led to me having such a wide variety of musical tastes.”

Singer-songwriter Francis Blume sees the beauty and intricacies in the clean and clear approach. There is boldness in being raw and transparent in lyricism and production because it doesn’t leave much for the artist to hide or blend into; it allows for the emotional intent to come through clearly and dynamically.
