Hannah Frances (b. 1997) is a multidisciplinary musician, composer, and poet. Through cutting lyricism and astute fingerpicked polyrhythms, Frances’ perennial sound melds avant-folk, progressive rock, and astral jazz. There is no singular way Frances grips us with her guitar or her storytelling. Her voice is colossal in its strength: piercing, warm, and always poised to embrace, even in its quietest expression. Whether performing as a solo act or with her full seven-piece ensemble, her mythology spellbinds with an insistent gravity. After touring the U.S. for her luscious album Bedrock (2021) and spending time in residencies composing new work, Frances returns with her unbridled and heartwrenching single Floodplain, out September 7. With more power and forthrightness than any of her work thus far, Frances is striding her way into her most compelling artistic form as a virtuosic guitarist, vocalist, storyteller, and arranger. Her forthcoming album is out March 2024 on Ruination Record Co., marking her most triumphantly brave collection to date.
