The Hot Biscuit Stringband
JUNO Award and 2x Canadian Blues Award–winning artist Angelique Francis and her band are versatile and exceptionally gifted musicians. This multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist, multi-genre singer-songwriter and composer has wowed audiences across the globe with electrifying performances, remarkable instrumental ability, and powerful, textured vocals. Known for an eclectic mix of musical genres including Blues, Soul, Folk, Americana, Jazz, Gospel, and Rock, Angelique has shared the stage with and opened for an impressive roster of renowned artists such as Buddy Guy, Gary Clark Jr., Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales — and the list goes on.
Angelique’s soulful, smoky vocals and instrumental techniques are reminiscent of a bygone era, yet delivered with a unique modern sensibility. Within her vocal style, you can hear the influence of legends like Big Mama Thornton, Koko Taylor, Aretha Franklin, and Bessie Smith. Her instrumental prowess calls to mind Willie Dixon on bass, Sister Rosetta Tharpe on guitar, Big Mama Thornton on harmonica, and Aretha on piano.
