Francis has been staying busy on the road since the end of April. After making stops in the South and Texas, including an appearance at Sweetwater 420 Fest 2023, Francis headed down to New Orleans for a long week of Jazz Fest festivities highlighted by collaborations with Goose and Shira Elias at Daze Between New Orleans and a late-night show with Nigel Hall at Chickie Wah Wah. He then arrived in New Jersey by way of Asheville, NC, where he linked up with fellow purveyor of soulful sounds Kendra Morris.
The two singers are have two shows remaining before they part ways, one tonight, Thursday, May 25th at XL Live in Harrisburg, PA and one tomorrow at New Realm Brewing Co. in Virginia Beach, VA. From there, Francis will head to Rooster Walk in Martinsville, VA before supporting Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade at Iroquois Amphitheater in Louisville, KY.
