David Francis is a leading interpreter of the Great American Songbook who also blends clever storytelling and classic country vibes into original songs that celebrate the quirks of life—and pickleball! David is an American singer of traditional pop standards, big band and show tunes, and jazz. He sings songs made famous by singers like Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Mel Torme, Joe Williams, Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett, Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Hartman, Perry Como, The Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers, and Louis Jordan. He also writes, records, and performs country novelty tunes, including the hit pickleball anthem, 'Anna Leigh'.
Born in Philadelphia, David paid his way through music school at Combs College as a bass player, often playing 5-6 nights a week. David’s desire and aptitude for entertaining people led him to move from a sideman to a frontman role as a singer. Through his study of jazz, he fell in love with the Great American Songbook, the harmonic and melodic beauty of the songs, and the stories told by their lyrics. David thrives on bringing them to his audience in a way that makes their qualities shine and has become a leading contemporary interpreter of songs from the Great American Songbook.
