Originally from Raleigh, NC, Asheville-based singer-songwriter and guitarist Frances Eliza blends her love of songwriting with her passion for jazz, indie-folk, and pop music. Her jarring, unexpected lyrics and intricate melodies delve into the challenges of human relationships from the perspective of an independent-minded young woman and musician. Jammerzine Magazine describes Frances as “A storyteller who invites the listener into her private life as she shares and explores experiences of love, loss, and pain in the hopes that sharing in these experiences will bring some measure of comfort to those listeners.” Her most recent EP, “No Longer Mine” was released in January 2022, and for the past year she has been playing her new music around WNC both solo and with her bandmates.
