With artfully crafted, intimate songs, sung in French and English, Blanchard has begun to reach a wide audience with recent inclusions on three Putumayo collections as well as opening slots for Joan Armatrading, Suzanne Vega, Caravan Palace and others.Pouring her heart into delicate melodies written for the acoustic guitar, Blanchards debut album deux visions was produced by Chris Velan (Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars), mixed by acclaimed Montreal producer Jean Massicotte (Lhasa, Patrick Watson, Arthur H, Jorane) and mastered at the prestigious Metropolis Studios in London. The album reflects Francescas travels, both physical and emotional, with influences ranging from Norah Jones and Carla Bruni to Eva Cassidy and Francoise Hardy.chrisvelan.com/facebook.com/chrisvelanmusicCHRIS VELANTraveling troubadour and producer, Chris Velan, brings it all home to perform with friends his soon-to-be-released sixth album, Glow a gathering of songs that reckon with everyday apocalypse on a playlist that crosses from folk pop to afrobeat to disco rock to vintage rock steady and back again.Sharing the bill will be Vermont songstress, Francesca Blanchard, with whom Velan worked as producer on her newly-released debut album, Deux Visions, sung half in French, half in English.
