"The Franny Wisp & Her Washboard show is a unique, quirky and sometimes self-deprecating response to a society that is preoccupied with youth, beauty, success and romantic relationships.  Her satire and wit are expressed musically through song, spoken word, wicked washboard rhythms and an electric kick drum. As a woman in her forties she portrays an honest and hilarious picture of the insecurities and trepidation she experiences in a demanding, relationship-oriented world.  She exposes the challenges associated with aging, fear, singlehood, sex and dating.
To laugh at her misgivings and insecurities allows us to be kinder and gentler with ourselves.  That’s what Franny Wisp & Her Washboard is all about. She creates an experience that connects us in a celebratory and often poignant way."
 
“Franny is going places. She opened for me at a packed show and made that stage her own. She seriously kicked some arse. Her songs are witty, poignant and heartbreakingly honest. I was riveted.”
 
Steve Poltz Folksinger, Nashville, USA
 
"Franny Wisp and Her Washboard will rock your world! Her charm is infectious, and she sees the world in a unique, quirky way that's reflected in her lyrics. As funny as those lyrics are - and it's hard to take a woman with a washboard too seriously - there is a poignancy even in her most hilarious stories and you can't help but feel for her. Her stage presence is riveting."
Doug Cleverly Event Facilitator, City of Owen Sound
