In May 2009, Stewart Francke was given a 20th Anniversary Lifetime Achievement Award by the Saginaw Arts & Enrichment Commission. Bringing the Detroiter home for the presentation led to his return in October, performing with John Krogman and producing Krogman’s Sling That Mud - hands down one of the best original CD releases of the year, showcasing Krogman’s sharp penchant for songwriting.

| ....Stewart Francke recently produced a new cd for veteran Saginaw rocker Johnny Krogman. Titled Sling That Mud, the cd will be released in September by Blue Boundary Records and distributed worldwide by Burnside Distribution and digitally by IODA. Recorded in just a week at Tempermill Studio with Darryl Pierce, Chuck Bartels, Brett Lucas, Sling That Mud is highlighted by Krogman's bluesy voice and detailed, haunting songs. Stewart produced and contributed a new song, "The Sinatra Hours." He says: "Johnny Krogman inspired me to play guitar and sing when I was a kid--he was a couple years ahead of me in school and was already giggin'. While I can't repay that great gift, I was thrilled to work with him on his songs. He's an original rock & roller and should be thought of alongside all the great Michigan artists we know of. This is just the first of many records from him I hope." |
