Event Description

“…Francis has serious star power. She played the audience like a revivalist preacher, telling stories, singing uplifting lyrics…  Angelique’s vocals evoking shades of Bessie Smith or Muddy Waters. Also playing both double bass and electric bass as well as blues harmonica…” – Alayne McGregor, Ottawa Jazz Scene “….there’s no denying powerhouse blues singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Angelique Francis has ‘it,’ and she’s letting it flow for the immense pleasure of listeners everywhere…” – Roots Music Canada Angelique Francis is about as animated as one could imagine.
