As a resident of Philadelphia and a Conshohocken native, The Launch's lead guitarist Fran Gilanti knows something about the Philly music scene.  Fran's talent is enhanced by a wide array of tribute band experience.  Having not only performed but actually having created his own tribute band, of which he fronts, Fran does know a thing or two!  His vocal ability ranges from the interworkings of complex harmony to the emotive resonance of a lead soloist.  Though he has seemingly played guitar from the days of his earliest youth, Fran formalized his higher music education through his studies at Combs College of Music.  Anyway the tale is woven, the Launch comes out a better tapestry with Fran's aptitude as a contribution.
