Imagine if Al Green, James Brown, Bruno Mars, Allen Stone, and Paolo Nutini had a funky love child—that’s Francis Aud. Singer, songwriter, bandleader, and full-on entertainer, Francis delivers music that makes you scrunch up your face, bob your head, feel it in your bones (and maybe your loins), and dance like nobody’s watching—or everybody’s watching. Flamenco, merengue, breakdance, Viennese waltz…all fair game.

Since his debut EP Tender Things, Francis has been busy creating his own brand of FONK™ MUSIC—a high-energy blend of funk and pop that’s equal parts groove and good vibes. He’s constantly writing, recording, fine-tuning his live show, and plotting total world fonk domination.

Catch him live (and maybe dancing with your hot mom) at The Barn on October 12. Let’s get FONKY.
