Thee lovely Francillia – lead singer/songwriter for  Bay Area psychedelic pop/duo Beatnik Castle, will sing the “Star Spangled Banner” at the Ballroom Brawl professional boxing card this Friday, November 6^th at the Hyatt Regency in beautiful downtown Tampa, FL. Promoted by One Punch Productions and Fight Factory Promotions, Ballroom Brawl will feature undefeated welterweight prospect and St. Petersburg resident Keith “One Time” Thurman (10-0, 10 KO’s), Tampa cruiserweight Nick “The Showstopper” Iannuzzi (12-1, 7 KO’s) and other talented  Bay Area fighters.

“It’s always an honor to sing our national anthem,” says Francillia, a US Army veteran and current member of the Active Reserves. “But it’s even more special to sing in front of my home town.” Though she admittedly confesses her love for the fight game (she’s a red belt in Tai Kwando), she adds that Quincy B, Beatnik Castle’s other “indescribable” half,  also is a huge fight fan.  “Quincy religiously keeps up with the sport more than me and still trains in the gym as if he’s still fighting,” she laughs.  “We’re huge fight fans and it’s an honor to be helping out Terry and One Punch Productions!” Francillia adds.

The Hyatt Regency is located at 211 North Tampa Street, Tampa, Florida 33602, phone number: 813 225 1234 Doors open at 7pm, and the action starts at 7:30pm.
