Francois and Robinson, both orthopedic surgery residents at Mayo Clinic, have performed for patients for several years. They gained widespread attention after a 2018 video of them singing “Alright” went viral. Since then, the duo has been featured on "The Ellen Show," "Good Morning America," the "Today" show and "The View."

Earlier this year, Francois and Robinson put out an album of cover songs to raise money for COVID-19 relief.

The doctors said the concert is a “thank you to the people of Rochester for everything they have given us over the past five years."
