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 prevailingly a modern folk band, FLA sips copious inspiration from Americana, jazz, soul
and rock.

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 prevailingly a modern folk band, FLA sips copious inspiration from Americana, jazz, soul
and rock.
Since the band's formation during their senior year at the University of Notre Dame, Frances Luke Accord's multifaceted, genre-
bending approach to music has marked a boundless evolution. 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. Bringing their newfound appreciation for world/folk music to the
bustling urban epicenter of Chicago in the summer of 2013, the duo has quickly garnered increasing local and regional attention for
their captivating live performances and stunning self-produced releases, including the Queen for Me EP (April 2014), Veronica
(October 2014), and Live @ Strobe (April 2015).
Frances Luke Accord's music can be described as dreamlike and philosophical, haunting and whimsical. Their melodies evoke a noir
film, a Spanish folktale, an enigmatic egoeye. However you pin it, something in the music is turning heads. Whether evidenced by
their artist endorsement with Godin Guitars or recent $16,294 Kickstarter campaign to fund their debut full-length album, Fluke
(due out May 20th, 2016), Gunty and Powers' compositions take the listener by the ear, pull the rug from beneath her feet, and
leave her deliciously airborne. Listen. « hide |
