Kim Moberg & Jenna Nicholls, January 10, 2026 - 7:30 PM at The Circle of Friends Coffeehouse

Kim Moberg and Jenna Nicholls

January 10, 2026 

 7:30 PM $25
Doors open at 7:00 pm. 
Award-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Kim Moberg, born in Juneau, Alaska to a Tlingit mother and a U.S. Coast Guard veteran father from Kansas, creates Folk Americana music shaped by her diverse musical roots. Influenced by her mother's classical background and her father's love of Country, Kim began playing guitar at 14 but didn't pursue performing until 2014, when she overcame lifelong stage fright and started writing songs. She has since released three albums with Grammy-nominated producer Jon Evans (Tori Amos/Sarah McLachlan), including The Seven Fires Prophecy Suite for Humanity (2023), inspired by the Anishinaabe legend and acclaimed worldwide. Her warm, emotive vocals—described as "a blend of honey and whiskey"—carry stories of heartbreak, healing, and social awareness. Learn more at www.kimmobergmusic.com. 

Hailing from the small town of Irwin, PA near Pittsburgh, after college Jenna Nicholls set her sights east to test her wings as a songwriter and performer. Initially trying Boston, she ultimately gravitated to the creative hotbed of Manhattan's Lower East Side forging lasting friendships with other like-minded artists and musicians. Nicholls made three albums on her own dime: Curled Up Toes in Red Mary Janes, The Blooming Hour, and Radio Parade. The albums revealed a restless muse and a theme that would be a constant for Nicholls: a love of vintage music – anything from classic music films like "Singin' in the Rain" to Bessie Smith.

FHS sports results for Tuesday, December 30, 2025

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Tuesday, December 30, 2025


Boys Basketball = Franklin, 36 @ Winchester, 46 – Final
– Franklin’s offense went ice cold in the second half and the Panthers dropped the championship game of the Bob Bigelow Holiday Tournament to the hosts. Jack Sullivan and James Crowley each scored nine points to pace the Panthers.

Girls Basketball = Franklin, 44 @ Notre Dame Academy, 52 – Final 
– Despite being shorthanded because of the flu, Franklin battled on the road against NDA. Head coach John Leighton called it a “gritty effort” from the Panthers to stay in the game to the end. Sophia Sacramone finished with a team-high 10 points and Tessah Rodrigues added nine.
