September 30th, 2008 | By ben
FOLLOWING a nomination for an L.A. Music Award, Brisbane star in the making Francesca de Valence will finally give her debut EP – From The Outside In – an Australian launch with a short run of shows, taking in Brisbane, Sydney and Maleny.
She has received critical acclaim in both the US and the UK for her independently released debut, receiving the L.A. Music Award nomination within its first week of release. Since then she’s also been named runner up in the We Are Listening 2008 Singer/Songwriter Awards, a semi-finalist in the 2008 UK Songwriting Contest, has received Best New Artist Nomination in the 2008 Independent Singer/Songwriter Awards and an honourable mention in the West Coast Songwriters International Song Contest 2008.
So what does this mean to growing Australian audiences? It means you get the chance to catch some home grown talent, before she takes off.
