Francie Medosch is the lead force behind and in front of the band, Florry, who blend indie rock with country twang and have been compared to the likes of The Band and The Rolling Stones as well as PJ Harvey and Big Thief. Their newest album, “Sounds Like…” recently came out on Dear Life Records and Pitchfork says, “the country-rock group rips through a set of free-spirited barnstormers with such ease and joy that even its tales of raw feelings and perpetual malaise feel uplifting” while Paste Magazine says, “This sort of unpretentious, unfiltered rock music will never go out of style. To borrow a phrase from Richard Williams’ review of Exile on Main St. in Melody Maker way back in ‘72: ‘Sounds Like…’ will take its place in history.” Florry is out on tour this summer in support of the new album, traveling all across the East Coast and Midwest, so make sure you check their page for where they’re playing near you!
