Neal Francis has plotted a 2023 winter run with Danielle Ponder, who will join the Chicago-bred pianist on the road for January and February North American tour stops beginning on Jan. 25 at Headliners Music Hall in Louisville, Ky.
After the tour opener, Francis and Ponder will travel north to Pittsburgh, Pa., where they will play at Mr. Smalls Theatre on Jan. 27 before following up the next night across the border in Toronto for a single night at The Velvet Underground. Then, after a brief break, the duo will return on Jan. 31 at Baltimore’s The 8 x 10.
They’ll kick off the shortest month of the year with a gig at Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, N.C., before continuing to Asheville, N.C., where they will take a stand at Salvage Station on Feb. 2. Next up, the tour will bring the musicians through Athens, before Francis wraps it up with a solo show on Feb. 4 in Charleston Pour House in Charleston, S.C.
