I made this meme for a joke specific to my #Franatic group chat, but I feel like it has broader potential. lol

Here's the complete schedule of events, with Frances's gigs highlighted. They're all free. The two tailgates are "unplugged" in the Red Rocks parking lot. The "Silver Linings" and "Bramily Brunch" events have amplification.

Hey, I'm so sorry I never replied to this. But yes - it was an AMAZING show!!

And Frances will be back in Colorado very soon - she has several gigs as part of the #Bramily festivities around Brandi Carlile's Red Rocks weekend next month, including a free show 2 weeks from tonight at Brewability.

I realize this criticism is so common as to be almost cliche at this point, but FOR FUCK'S MOTHERFUCKING SAKE, this is perhaps the most egregious example I've ever seen of the @nytimes.com catastrophically failing to describe fascism as fascism. What the FUCK is wrong with them?!?

Proud of the #Rockies. When they got their 9th win of the season on May 23, with seven games still to go in May, the doubters and naysayers didn’t think they could make it into June with single-digit wins. But I always believed. And by God, they did it.

Hey Daniel! Will I see you guys at the show tomorrow? Come say hi if so! 🫶

Just posted this last-minute pitch/reminder on FB:

I might make this into a protest sign

One more @statsfm.bsky.social chart:

Week 1 of Frances Whitney’s debut EP vs. Week 1 of @jensenmcrae.bsky.social’s sophomore album.

Pretty similar totals! 107 vs. 104.
May 1, 2025 at 10:57 AM
And here are my top songs of 2025 so far.

@jensenmcrae.bsky.social's "Tuesday" is #4 for the calendar year to date, even though it's only been out for **SIX DAYS**, so that's impressive, lol.

Lily Fitts #2 and #5 with two major earworms.

Frances Whitney's gorgeous "Theo's Party" #1 as expected.

She is even better live than her recorded music. Just an unbelievably great show. Also the nicest person & loves interacting with fans.

ALSO, SHE’S A GAYLOR! She has talked about it on lives. And note the pronoun usage in “Cruel Summer” in this compilation:

Instead it ended up #7. Which is CRAZY, given how much I love it. But Frances Whitney is genuinely THAT good. (And even *better* live.)

@janmug.bsky.social I guess Bluesky doesn't permit DMing images, so I'm sending it this way instead. Anyway, this is in reference to what I DM'd you a few minutes ago. Heh. (cc: @justdaniel.bsky.social) 🤪

P.P.S. One last thing! Here’s a complication of Frances’s Taylor covers that I put together:

You're welcome!!

I know I sound like such a hipster about this (I swear, I was never that guy who had a "favorite indie artist" until now, lol), but as much as I love her recorded music, she's even better acoustic/live.

Anyway if you decide to go to the Denver show, let me know so I can say hi! :)
