Francis Naluz talks about his band PATH, co-led with Paco Ha. Francis is a bassist who plays upright and electric bass as well as guitar. He is an active side-person in his cohort, playing often with Gordy Li, the Couch Jams Collective, and many more. He graduated from Capilano University in 2022.

Francis plays in the next Couch Jams event called I Wish U Roses, at the Annex Theatre, on February 15.

PATH features Paco in a two-saxophone setup with Erika Chow, while Francis completes the rhythm section with his friends including keyboardist Suin Park and drummers Seth Kitamura and Jordy McIntosh. The band's material ranges from R&B covers to original contemporary jazz.

Francis also has a solo project on SoundCloud called Archibald Caribou.
