Frances Madden Live at

Described by ABC Jazz’s Mal Stanley as a talented young vocalist and pianist and ‘one to watch’, Frances is one of the classiest young entertainers Australia has produced in recent times. Her sophisticated mix of vocal jazz, blues and re- interpreted pop classics has been selling out the best jazz venues, night clubs and festivals around the country. She has also established herself as a contemporary songwriter of note. While she’s been compared to a young Diana Krall and Norah Jones, Frances captivates her audiences with a combination of her genuinely warm stage presence together with a voice and style that is uniquely her own. She is also a talented and engaging original composer so when she performs her own swinging tunes, beautiful ballads or smokey blues, they merge seamlessly with the timeless classics she covers.

Frances’ second studio album ‘Beautiful World’ has just been released by ABC Music, distributed by in Australia and New Zealand by Universal Music. UMG Japan will also release ‘Beautiful World’ later this year. The album was produced by ARIA award winner Chong Lim AM (John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John, David Campbell). Frances is one of Australia’s most talented young singer-songwriters and piano players. Frances captivates her audiences with a combination of her genuinely warm stage presence along with a voice and style that are distinctly her own. Her original swing and beautiful ballads have a natural partnership with the occasional classics she interprets.
