Francis Madden – Beautiful World Tour

Frances Madden & Band – ‘Beautiful World’ Tour

We are delighted to welcome back one of Australia’s most talented young singer-songwriters and piano players to present her show ‘Beautiful World’, featuring songs from the album recently released by ABC Music.

“Frances has a wonderful feeling for jazz and blues standards but what makes her a real stand-out are her original songs and unique style.” James Morrison / Jazz Legend

“Only a vastly talented songwriter produces such works . . . and when she chose to open out, she played jazz piano with authentic brilliance” Eric Myers / The Australian

Frances’ music is a highly accessible mix of swing, ballads and blues with a broadly adult contemporary appeal. The show will also feature a selection of unique covers and classics. Frances will be backed by an all-star band with some of Australia’s most talented musicians including:

Carl Dewhurst on guitar
Brett Hirst on double bass
Tim Geldens on drums
Ray Cassar on trumpet and Hammond organ

Frances plays to full houses at leading jazz venues and festivals around Australia. She has supported touring international artists including Dionne Warwick and Grammy-Award winner Gregory Porter as well as headlining at the acclaimed JZ Club in Shanghai. Her first studio album ‘If this were a dream’ went to #5 on the ARIA Jazz Charts. Beautiful World will be released by Universal Music in Japan later this year.
