FRANCES MADDEN AND BAND

One of Australia’s finest and most popular young singer-songwriters and piano players. Frances’ shows are a mix of her own enchanting swing, ballads and blues along with her unique take on some timeless classics. Supported by a five-piece all star band, one show only not to be missed. 

Described as 'a rising star of jazz and blues' by Fine Music FM 102.5, Frances is one of the classiest young entertainers and songwriters Australia has produced in recent times. She has just completed recording her second studio album with ARIA-Award winning producer Chong Lim AM, to be released early next year. She captivates her audiences with a combination of her genuinely warm stage presence along with a voice and style that are uniquely her own.

Her music is jazz-oriented with a broad adult contemporary appeal. Frances is an original and talented songwriter so when she performs her own swinging tunes and beautiful ballads, they merge seamlessly with the timeless classics she covers.

Frances performs at major festivals around the country including Wangaratta Jazz, Sydney International Women's Jazz, Manly Jazz, Hobart Festival of Voices, Devonport Jazz and Tamworth Country Music. She plays to capacity audiences at Australia’s best venues for jazz-influenced music including The Basement and Foundry616 in Sydney, Birds Basement and the Paris Cat in Melbourne, and the recently opened Doo-Bop Jazz Club in Brisbane. Frances has also headlined at the renown JZ Club in Shanghai and she has supported leading international artists visiting Australia, including the legendary Dionne Warwick and Grammy Award winner Gregory Porter.
