Hannah Frances (b. 1997) is a vocalist, guitarist, composer, and poet that NPR’s Ann Powers calls “a stunning vocalist and songwriter, making monumental and mythic music,” and was awarded Pitchfork’s Best New Music for her critically acclaimed 2024 album Keeper of the Shepherd. Frances will release her forthcoming album Nested in Tangles on October 10 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 self-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 seven-piece ensemble, her mythology spellbinds with an insistent gravity.

Marie Hamilton is a harpist, vocalist and end-of-life doula whose work centers on care and human connection. Inspired by ancient melodies, endless curiosity and a touch of synesthesia, she takes the harp beyond familiar confines. Blending formal training with a primarily self-taught, intuitive approach, she offers calm, solace and gentle presence to those at the edges of life or seeking stillness. She shares her music in therapeutic environments including palliative care units, long-term care facilities, women’s safe housing, shelters for the unhoused, animal rescues, equine therapy programs, recovery centers and antepartum units for high-risk pregnancies. She also brings joy to diverse gatherings, performing with dancers, accompanying aerialists, playing at farmers’ markets, enchanted forest walks, art installations and even wrestling matches. She sees music not as performance, but as communion: with others, herself, and the timeless harp tradition.
