When queer folk icon Phranc was performing as the self-proclaimed "all-American Jewish lesbian folksinger," she managed to carve out a space for herself with bright, cheery songs that celebrated queer love as often as they dealt with the darker realities of prejudice. This fall, Phranc is on the University of Michigan's campus for a residency with the University of Michigan.
