Frances Luke Accord

Frances Luke Accord is an independent Chicago-based duo hailing originally from South Bend, Indiana. Both dedicated multi-instrumentalists and attentive songwriters, Nicholas Gunty and Brian Powers distinguish their music with genre fluidity, organic acoustics and buttery harmonies. Although mainly a modern folk band, Frances Luke Accord takes inspiration from Americana, jazz, soul, and rock. Frances Luke Accord formed during their senior year at the University of Notre Dame. In December of 2012 the duo released their first record, "Kandote," a not-for-profit, intercultural collaboration with the Barefoot Truth Children’s Choir of Kkindu, Uganda; an endeavor that continues to support the primary education and musical aspirations of the choir. Since then they have self-produced several releases, including the "Queen for Me" EP (April 2014), "Veronica" (October 2014), and "Live @ Strobe" (April 2015).
