Skidmore College’s Francis Davies stopped by historic Caffè Lena for a special session taping with WEXT. A thoughtful songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Francis brings a timeless folk spirit to his music — weaving classic influences with a distinctly modern voice. His songs feel both intimate and expansive, rich with lyrical storytelling and warm acoustic textures.
In this live session, Francis performs a few originals and shares stories about finding his sound in Saratoga Springs — from campus jam sessions to local stages. It’s an inspiring glimpse at an artist on the rise, blending the sincerity of traditional folk with the curiosity of a new generation.
