Robert Francis, born Robert Anthony Commagere in Los Angeles in 1987, is an Americana singer-songwriter who plays a small orchestra's worth of instruments himself. He made his debut with One By One on Aeronaut Records in August 2007, and critics picked up on how dark and musical it was for someone so young.
Before Nightfall, his 2009 album for Atlantic, gave him "Junebug", the song he's best known for: a rolling, dusty slow-burner sung in a bright but gravelly baritone that sounds as if it's already lived through a few hard years. It became a top ten airplay hit across Europe in 2010, and it's the one rock radio's countdowns held on to.
