Francesca & the Night Sky w/ Carter Hunnicut * April 26, 2026

Prolific songwriter Francesca played the Milwaukee area for years solo and as leader of the well-loved “Francesca and the 440 Hum”. Francesca and guitarist Tom Plutshack were casually acquainted from the local music scene and when she booked a one-off show at Milwaukee’s long-running The Coffee House, she asked Tom for help in putting a set together. Despite a difference in background (and maybe personality) the pieces fit together awfully well. The one-off turned into the duo Francesca & Tom playing around town for couple years. Francesca started wanting to bring up the energy and sound of their project and make it noisy and rude enough to fit comfortably into the rowdy bars where she felt most at home. [Ed.: Just kidding Frannie] Tom turned to a couple skilled players he knew from earlier adventures in the cover band scene, drummer Mike Farrow and bassist/multi-instrumentalist Larry Koehn. Again, the pieces just fit. Carter Hunnicut is a long-time veteran of the Milwaukee music scene playing in iconic bands such as Those XCleavers. In his new band, The Swivels, Carter is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Doors at 2:00pm, Music at 3;00PM, $7
