You might know Black Francis as Frank Black, “that one guy” from The Pixies, 1/2 of Grand Duchy, Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV, or…well…the list goes on. The moniker of the hour isn’t important; the man, his music, and his influence on the alternative/indie rock scene is. We at True Endeavors are extremely excited to present Black Francis’ show this Saturday at the High Noon Saloon. If you haven’t picked up your tickets to see this living legend yet, we’re offering a free pair of spots on the guest list to a lucky blog reader.
