Fran Jams is a recording studio platform that utilizes everything and anybody willing to put the time into a composition.
Some work is entirely solo and other work enlists the help of local musicians

announce the debut of the Allie Duran Band featuring Allie on Vocals,Bob Housye on Bass

local venues near you soon.
