Francis Dunnery was a founder member of the 1980s band, It Bites. Although he started on drums, he became the lead singer and guitarist of the group until he left in 1990.

Since leaving It Bites, Dunnery has been a solo artist, recording ten studio albums. He has performed regularly in both the U.S. and the UK. His biggest solo hit single was "American Life in the Summertime.

Dunnery was approached to join Genesis, post-Phil Collins, but Francis had his own agenda. He accompanied former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant on his "Fate of Nations" world tour in 1993-4. He played studio sessions for Lauryn Hill and recorded with Elton John and many others including Carlos Santana on his multi-platinum album Supernatural, and Dunnery co-wrote some tracks and played guitar on Ian Brown's album Music of the Spheres.

In 1998, unable to sustain his enthusiasm for the music industry, Francis retired to the mountains of Vermont with his girlfriend, where he developed his interest in Jungian Psychology and horse training. Lured back to the UK in the year 2000 he was surprised to find that gigs sold out and he returned with a bigger tour that

Francis has recently embarked on a House Concert World Tour that has literally taken him into living rooms throughout the world. The House Concerts allow him the opportunity to combine his life stories, educational interests and amazing musical talents into an intimate life changing evening.

Francis is currently working on his own New Progressives album set for an October 2009 release.
