Francesca Hoffman is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and event producer based in Kingston, NY. A classically trained flutist and self-taught guitarist, ukulele player and percussionist, she has been writing songs since 2011 and recorded her debut EP, “Decade,” in 2020.  In 2023 she finally began performing her songs live with support from pianist/accordionist and singer Meghan Quinn and drummer Benji Marx, and in late 2024 she released her first full-length LP, “The Aftermath.”

Francesca’s songwriting draws inspiration from the Indigo Girls, Patty Griffin, Fleetwood Mac, the Secret Sisters and more. She describes her sound as “folk-pop” or “honest-rock,” as it features straightforward lyrics and an emphasis on counter-melodies and vocal harmonies. Her focus on universal topics of love, heartbreak and healing make her music especially relatable.

Francesca is also the owner of Kingston's own Unicorn Bar, the only queer bar between Albany and NYC.
