Join us at La Reina for a night of free live music featuring Jonny Fritz, followed by John Francis & The Poor Clares.

Born in Montana and raised in Esmont, Virginia, Jonny has passed weeks in nearly every city in the United States, and plenty others overseas, cramming ten lives into one, and half his possessions into the garages of friends and well-wishers. But despite the vitalism and exploits he’s gained a name for, most of his music comes from the smaller moments. He takes a weird little piece of life, unnoticed by most, then steeps it in song until it’s ready for vinyl. The overlooked sorrows of a fellow party goer. The real tedium and pains-in-the-ass of touring life, rather than the mystique. An old residential hotel, once hidden back, but whose uncurtained windows now tell human stories to the drivers-by on a newly built highway.

Every-other Wednesday at El Rey Court's beloved bar La Reina you'll find John Francis & The Poor Clares singing their hearts out ... blessing the intimate bar with sweet tunes well into the night.

Listen to old favorites, clever rhythms, and new lovable storytelling songs.

Please join us with one of our favorite local bands ... sip on some smokey bevs, kick back and relax.

All ages are welcome, 21+ to enjoy beverages at the bar. Tickets are not required. This event is free and open to the public however tips to the band are always welcome and appreciated!
