ABOUT STEWART FRANCKE
With a vibe fusing the best of Detroit\'s musical traditions, Stewart Francke celebrates two decades of rock and blue-eyed soul. His 2012 work,\"Summer Soldier,\" features a guest vocal spot with Bruce Springsteen.A dynamic, multi-faceted recording artist, live performer and musical institution in his adopted hometown of Detroit for more than two decades, singer/songwriter Stewart Francke has enthralled thousands of fans, both onstage and via his lengthy discography with a colorful fusion of spirited blue eyed soul and edgy rock and roll that capture his wide array of rock (Beatles, Bowie), soul (Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye) and folk (Patty Griffin, Guy Clark) influences. Over the years, he has won numerous Detroit Music Awards, including Best Artist, Songwriter and Album, totaling 13 awards. Hour Detroit readers voted him “Most Popular Musician” in 20••••03, and in 2009 his hometown of Saginaw awarded him a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Saginaw Arts Commission, for “the enjoyment and insight his songs have brought to so many in his hometown, home state and beyond.” Another powerful part of Stewart’s personal story is that he is a leukemia and bone marrow transplant survivor who has successfully fused his music career and passion for cancer outreach to the community. In addition to being recognized by the Points of Light Foundation for his personal work in cancer patient support, his organization The Stewart Francke Leukemia Foundation was presented the prestigious Partnership In Humanity Award by the Detroit newspapers. In 2017, a memoir of his battle with cancer, What Don\'t Kill Me Just Makes Me Strong, was published by San Francisco-based publisher Untreed Reads in all formats. This was the follow-up volume to his 2006 work Between The Ground & God, a collection of Stewart\'s writing on music, life and Michigan living.
