With a new solo album incoming, Australian roots-rock-blues musician Dallas Frasca will embark on a massive national tour the second half of the year.
Set to release 'Force Of Nature' 19 July (pre-order it), Frasca will perform concerts in both duo and trio mode venturing to Perth, Fremantle, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Cairns, Sydney, Newcastle and Hobart as well as a stack of regional centres between August and November.An album four years in the making and inspired by time spent in nature as well as finding her own true self along the way, the result is a journey deep into the soul of one of Australia's genuine songwriting stars.
"A couple of years ago I had an enormous epiphany where I was overcome with an overwhelming feeling that it was the right time to put a solo record out, barebones, ME as an artist, with no other influences," shares Dallas.
"It was kind of like a moment, I truly found my own voice, and the fire was lit. It grew as I obsessively picked up the guitar every day and began to write.
"Recording 'Force Of Nature' was an intense and deeply personal process; I recorded it across six different studios in Melbourne including the piano for 'The Wind Blows' in my lounge room aka Lady Luck Studios, and you can hear the birds chirping outside throughout the recording. Real and raw.
"It's the third record I've made with my dear friend and collaborator, LA-based Andy Baldwin. It was tricky figuring out how to record the album when it was only me, and Andy's playful and adventurous spirit brought a touch of genius to the plate every day.
"He pushed me far beyond what I thought I was capable of. I could not have achieved this without him. He is such a generous collaborator; when I heard the mix for the opening track on the record, I cried. I couldn't believe what we had accomplished together.
"The album's quieter moments hint at a new, more compelling frontier for me, maybe suggesting an evolution in my sound and songwriting. You'll hear the combinations of my love for traditional blues elements with modern influences."
