Earl Francis
Earl Francis joined the Allman Brothers Band family in 1989 as a lighting rigger and grew to be lighting director through 2014. Earl also worked many Gregg Allman tours as well as continuing his long time employment with BML/Blackbird Theatrical services. Known to many as Pappy, he was always the first to load in and last to load out, willing to lend a hand or his expertise at any given moment. Earl always had a kind word even when he was being irascible. Earl was a Vietnam Veteran and a survivor of the Rock & Roll wars. He lost his battle with cancer in February of 2019.
