New Album - Family Tree - Official Release Date May 20

Special pre-release copies available from CD Baby April 21st!

"Family Tree," according to music critic Bill Childs, "is going to be a top-of-the-list record ... The music is probably best described as indie folk, with the focus on Frances' gentle, playful, and expresssive voice. The lyrics somehow strike a remarkable balance between simplicity and sophistication ... I don't think I'll hear a better record this year."
