The award winning band The Folk Pistols was founded in 1994 by Frenchy Burrito to showcase Frenchy's offbeat original songwriting as well as to spice up great covers by Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, John Prine, TVZ, Loudon Wainwright, Tom Waits and others. Over the years the cast of musicians has varied (sort of like being in the French Foreign Legion of music) Currently new/old recordings/films are in the works.
