Frances Madden & Band: Beautiful World Album Launch

This performance has been rescheduled to Saturday 12 March 8PM.

One of Australia’s most talented young singer-songwriters and piano players presents her show ‘Beautiful World’, featuring songs from the album of the same name recently released by ABC Music.

A year in the making, the album was produced by ARIA Award winning maestro Chong Lim AM (John Farnham, Olivia Newton John). Head of ABC Music Natalie Waller believes the ‘wonderful original songs on this new crossover album have the potential to influence the mainstream music scene’. The album resulted in five nominations for Frances in this year’s Australian Songwriters Awards. This show will also feature a selection of unique covers and classics.

Frances performs at major jazz and contemporary music festivals as well as playing to capacity audiences at premier venues around Australia. She has performed with the great James Morrison and shared the bill with leading international artists including Dionne Warwick and Gregory Porter -- as well as touring internationally in her own right, including headlining at the JZ Club in Shanghai.

With a nod to her jazz roots, Beautiful World will also appeal to Frances’ growing adult contemporary following in Australia and overseas – the album will also be released by Universal Music in Japan in early 2022.

“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 will be backed by a seven-piece all-star band featuring some of Sydney and Canberra’s most talented musicians. As well as Frances on vocals and piano, the shows will feature:

Carl Dewhurst on guitar
Brett Hirst on double bass
Tim Geldens on drums
Ray Cassar on trumpet and Hammond organ
Borbala Bodonyi on backing vocals
Jo Fabro on backing vocals
