Frank Hannon is a solo artist and lead guitarist of the multi-platinum band Tesla. He has recently revealed a remix and a new music video for “San Francisco,” the latest single from his solo guitar instrumental album Reflections. Built around improvisation, the track serves “as both a love letter to the city and a window into the exploratory side of Hannon’s musicianship.”

The video is anchored by the analog, hand-crafted psychedelic visuals of Brotherhood of Light Show artist Chris Samardizch, whose organically created oil-light imagery has illuminated stages for generations of musicians.
 
The Brotherhood of Light Show’s lineage stretches back to the Summer of Love in 1967, when pioneering liquid light projections became an essential visual counterpart to the San Francisco Bay area’s music explosion. The collective’s work traces all the way to moments like the Monterey Pop Festival and decades of historic performances at venues such as the Fillmore, helping define the immersive psychedelic concert experience. A recently released documentary video further chronicles that history.

Hannon shares about the song:

San Francisco has always been my favorite city. It’s the gateway to the West, a cultural melting pot, and a place where so many different musical ideas collided and became something new. The artists that came out of this city in the ’60s and ’70s shaped how I hear harmony, melody, and freedom in music.

In support of Reflections, Hannon will bring his solo guitar show to the Dallas International Guitar Festival the weekend of May 1-3, 2026, performing a special instrumental set. Tickets and additional information are available at https://www.guitarshow.com/.
