Francisco Mirabent
Northeastern Texas has long been considered a melting pot of musical
influence--Cajun, blues, ragtime, jazz, Texas swing, and zydeco are all examples of
this regions ability to blend culture & music. Francisco Mirabent of Linden Texas
(Linden hailing itself as "Music City USA" and proud hometown of Scott Joplin,
T-Bone Walker, and the Eagle's Don Henley) was raised in the heart of this musical
landscape--playing his guitar at jam sessions with musicians that directly reflected
the best of this region's style.
He has played venues throughout the south--Memphis, Texarkana, Dallas, and
Shreveport--and is currently working on several projects, including the Rodney
Whatley Band with Jena Walker.
His playing has been compared to Eric Johnson, Brad Paisley, and Stevie Ray
Vaughn--but his technique is much more diverse. Utilizing slide and varied effects,
Francisco bridges the gap of many different world styles and influences in his
unique approach to guitar playing.
