Hannah Frances, with OC-EN @ FREMONT ABBEY

THE CROCODILE & ABBEY ARTS PRESENT:
HANNAH FRANCES: HANNAHFRANCESMUSIC.COM/
Hannah Frances (b. 1997) is an internationally acclaimed vocalist, guitarist, composer, and poet that NPR’s Ann Powers calls “a stunning vocalist and songwriter, making monumental and mythic music.” Frances was awarded Pitchfork’s Best New Music for her critically acclaimed 2024 album Keeper of the Shepherd and Best Albums of 2025 from the likes of Pitchfork, Paste Magazine, NPR, and Stereogum for her latest album Nested in Tangles —her first release with Fire Talk Records.
With this distinctive body of work, Frances solidifies herself as an artist of insurgent emotional clarity, committed to personal truth and actualization. On this album, she narrates complex stories of familial estrangement, emotional trauma, and a deepening of her own sense of trust, through a collection of intricate, dizzying, and large-scale compositions. Nested in Tangles spans the realms of progressive rock, avant-folk, and jazz, but remains anchored throughout with Frances’ signature vocal leaps and percussive, polyrhythmic fingerpicking.
A persistent troubadour, Frances lives in Vermont with roots in Chicago, though she is most often touring internationally and nationally, opening for artists such as Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, Florist, Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Weather Station, Hiss Golden Messenger, Billie Marten, Whitney, and Damien Jurado, among others.
Whether performing as a solo act or leading her full ten-piece ensemble, her mythology spellbinds with an insistent gravity.
