The duo is known as Frances Luke Accord\, and they are what NPR’s Mountain Stage calls “the definition of lean-in music.” Their soulful\, effortless branch of indie-folk is orchestrated with spare and sophisticated acoustic threads woven into a lush backdrop for their intimate melodies. Rich\, up-close tenor harmonies lend their timeless songwriting an urgency that honors the Simon & Garfunkel comparisons but pushes beyond into the world of Bon Iver\, Jose Gonzalez\, and progressive folk music. \n  \n \n  \nBoth raised in South Bend\, IN\, Gunty and Powers met and began performing together during their time at the University of Notre Dame. Their first release\, Kandote\, was a bold intercultural collaboration with the Barefoot Truth Children’s Choir in Uganda\, a not-for-profit effort which provides ongoing support to the choir to this day. Relocating to Chicago in 2013\, the duo honed their songwriting craft while releasing two more self-produced EPs\, laying the groundwork for their breakthrough debut full-length\, Fluke\, in 2016. This immersive\, philosophically rich album set them off on their first national tour\, which included support dates with Darlingside\, Anaïs Mitchell\, and The Ballroom Thieves. \nNow a distance band\, Gunty and Powers continue to explore their combined voice with a renewed sense of growth and brotherhood from their respective homes in Philadelphia and Chicago. “Maria” (2018) and “Silver & Gold EP” (2019) reflect this evolution with a fresh vitality and set the bar high for their upcoming sophomore LP\, coming in 2020. \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \n“…ARE THE DEFINITION OF LEAN-IN MUSIC.”\n– JONI DEUTSCH\, NPR’S MOUNTAIN STAGE \n“…ARE SOME OF OUR VERY FAVORITE MUSICIANS\, SONGWRITERS\, AND PEOPLE.”\n– DARLINGSIDE \n“…AN ECHO OF SIMON & GARFUNKEL\, THE QUIRKY WEIRDNESS OF SUFJAN STEVENS\, AND THE MELODIC PROGRESSION OF JOSH RITTER…FLA HAVE TAKEN ALL OF THIS AND TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING ENTIRELY UNIQUE.”\n-PURE M MAGAZINE \n  \n \n“Indie folk at its finest” – Milk Crater \n“People should hear this music and say this is something I want to hear more of and know more about. This is not foreign music – this is music that’s got a precedent set many years ago. And when you hear somebody do it this well\, you kind of just have to pay attention to it.” – Richard Milne\, WXRT Chicago \n‘If you like killer harmonies\, you will LOVE Frances Luke Accord’ – Jeanette Sangston\, The Revue \n[Frances Luke Accord] have their fingers in a sound that’s timeless yet absolutely necessary in an increasingly static musical landscape. – Joshua Pickard\, Nooga \nLearn more about Frances Luke Accord\nYouTube \nWebsite \nPLEASE SHARE URL:https://firststreetcc.com/event/live-concert-frances-luke-accord/ LOCATION:The Uptown Theatre\, First Street Community Center\, The Uptown Theatre\, 221 First Street NE\, Mount Vernon\, IA\, 52314\, United States CATEGORIES:Art,Live Music,Public Welcome,Uptown Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://firststreetcc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Frances-Like-Accord-outdoors-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200914T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200914T180000 DTSTAMP:20260613T121615 CREATED:20191222T214839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200908T144249Z UID:17408-1600106400-1600106400@firststreetcc.com SUMMARY:Canceled - IDEA - Intelligent Discussion and Expression Association DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHAREIntelligent Discussion and Expression Association (IDEA)\nDue to the health concerns regarding public gatherings this particular session has been canceled.\nI moved to Mount Vernon from Hawaii and am enjoying living in such close-knit community.

Once evolved as Humans we progressed very rapidly through inventions which gave us a succession of ever improved tools for easier and yet easier living. All these inventions dealt with things around us. However\, the evolutionary process being very\, very slow our physiology and psychology have not kept up to deal with the consequences of what we have created. For example\, various chemicals while most of them made our life easier also prove to be dangerous to health and environment. This has a compounding effect into the future affecting us and our children and so on. \nThis situation calls for our turning inwards to change our attitude to do what need to be done in directing Human evolution from now on for our survival. This is being Mindful. \nTherefore\, I have created a forum\, Inner Dimensional Engineering Agreement Sangha (IDEA Sangha) for like minded people to discuss what attitudinal changes we are to adopt. \nWe will meet on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month at 1PM\, in the Library. \nAll are welcome. \nPlease address any questions to jpattur@gmail.com \nPLEASE SHARE URL:https://firststreetcc.com/event/idea-sangha-2020-09-20/ LOCATION:The Library\, First Street Community Center\, 221 First Street NE\, Mount Vernon\, IA\, 52314\, United States CATEGORIES:Library,Public Welcome ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://firststreetcc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Change-neon-sign-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200920T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200920T150000 DTSTAMP:20260613T121615 CREATED:20191015T010330Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200908T144550Z UID:16395-1600606800-1600614000@firststreetcc.com SUMMARY:Canceled - Class – Twig Fairy Chairs – Instructor\, Ruth Ipsan-Brown DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHAREDue to the health concerns regarding public gatherings this particular session has been canceled.\nLearn to make Twig Fairy Chairs from Ruth Ipsan-Brown\, the goddess of twig and creator of twig things. \nMake a small chair\, figure\, structure or some twig thing of your choice. \nAll materials included however if you want to bring a stick\, please do. \nChairs can range from 6” to 8” tall and each one is unique.
