ABOUT THE ARTIST:
NOELLE FRANCES (Ontario)
Noelle Frances delivers raw, beautiful acoustic performances infused with humour, emotional depth, and authenticity. With a unique voice, guitar, stomp box, and harmonica, her solo shows are intimate, powerful, and deeply relatable. Alongside her work with acclaimed folk trio The Pairs—who have toured internationally and played top festivals like Mariposa, Calgary Folk Fest, and Cervantino—Noelle has built a strong solo presence, opening for artists like Irish Mythen and Kellie Loder. In 2025, she’ll tour her solo album Talking to Ghosts and The Pairs' new release Together on a Rock, continuing to captivate audiences with her passion and joy.
