Join Pete Francis (formerly of Dispatch) and Tracy Jo for a dual album release party featuring both of their bands releasing full albums! Featuring an art installation from Dragoncrest Collective, both the front and back space of Park City Music Hall will be open.—“There’s a lot of healing and a lot of forgiveness in these songs,” says Pete Francis. “It can be scary to face your fears and ask the tough questions, but sometimes you have to step into the darkness in order to find your light.”That juxtaposition of darkness and light lies at the heart of, PTRN SKY!, Francis’ captivating new album and first full-length release since his 2019 departure from alternative roots powerhouse Dispatch. Recorded at home in Connecticut, the collection finds the acclaimed songwriter and multi-instrumentalist reckoning with the depression and anxiety that have dogged him for most of his adult life, transforming doubt and pain into growth and transcendence with remarkable grace and empathy. The writing is intensely raw and vulnerable here, even as the lyrics explore a world of improvised abstraction, and the arrangements are cathartic to match, wrapping deeply personal reflections inside layers of lush, dreamy synthesizers. The result is an unflinching glimpse into the subconscious of an artist learning to make peace with the struggle that threatened to rob him of everything he held dear, an aching yet ultimately triumphant testament to the power of love and art to make us feel whole again, even at our most broken.—Tracy Jo is a six-piece roots rock project based out of Black Rock. After living and studying music in New Orleans, Tracy Jo relocated to Connecticut, bringing new experience and influences into her songwriting. Formerly named Tracy Jo & the Toads, the band is a refreshing blend of blues and gritty soul led by powerful, sultry vocals.FOR FANS OF: Tedeschi Trucks Band // The Black Crowes // Alabama Shakes $20 Advance / $25 Day of
