Franky Flowers was formed in 2015 by the late Franky Flowers. In this time the band released a debut EP and two singles leading up to a full-length LP that was never realized. Following his death in late 2017, the remainder of the group—Ellington Peet (of Apollo Soul), Abe Zuckerman and Yegor Mackey—recruited Los Angeles multi-instrumentalist and record producer, Franky Fox, to front the band.
