Frankie Archer plus support // Washington Folk Festival

Frankie Archer brings out her trio (Amy Thatcher and Francesca Knowles) to Washington.

Frankie Archer’s imaginative and bold mash of electro alt-trad shows her deep love of electronic and experimental music and her Northumbrian roots. Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2) described her music as “fascinating and intoxicating”.

Her unique, fresh sound has pricked up the ears of fans and press, being featured in The Guardian, Bandcamp Best Of, Amazing Radio Tips for 2024, NME New Bangers, earning wonderful reviews from Clash Magazine, Tradfolk and Fresh on the Net, and being chosen by Fatea for their Showcase Session.

Winner of the Christian Raphael Prize, Frankie has been featured on ‘Later… With Jools Holland’, BBC Proms, BBC Glastonbury coverage, BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour, and championed by tastemakers at BBC Radio 2, 3 and 6Music. She has supported the likes of The Futureheads and The Last Dinner Party. With her unique tech-infused live set turning heads wherever she goes, Frankie is quickly establishing herself as one to watch in the alternative space.
