302 Francesca Hoffman "Musician, Event Producer, Unicorn Bar"

Today on the show I get to chat with Francesca Hoffman, a multi-instrumentalist, singer, event producer and entrepreneur based in Kingston, who is currently in the process of opening her new queer-forward performance venue & bar called Unicorn Bar (formerly The Beverly Lounge). A classically trained flutist and self-taught guitarist, ukulele player and percussionist, she is also a co-founder of Hudson Valley-based brass band, Brasskill and the Hudson Valley Brassroots Festival, a member of both The Goddess Party and Eva Salina's Eastern European choir, and the parade coordinator for the O+ Festival.Francesca talks about how music entered her life, and how her relationship with it has evolved including how it has impacted her own personal evolution... finding her confidence, surrendering, letting go of control, and taking care of herself.Catch her performing her original songs live with support from pianist/accordionist Meghan Quinn on Dec. 17 at @vosburghbrewing and Jan. 5 at Tilda's...and with the Eastern European Choir on Dec. 9th.Happy 40th Birthday Francesca!Here's your Full Moon Report!Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: [email protected]** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFY | STITCHERITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCASTITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/she-wants/i-want-what-she-has?refid=stpr’Follow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcastTWITTER * https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas
