A time for new music…and new beginnings.
For today’s Love Austin Music Month feature, the AMM bids you welcome to the world of L.C. Franke, multitalented songwriter and vocalist bringing you into a moonlit fold of smoldering, sophisticated jazz-pop; your dashing guide through a smoky, ruby-lit nightclub, where crooners like…say, Sinatra would feel right at home.
So, who is this striking yet enigmatic figure? In a nutshell, Franke is a seasoned artist exploring a different avenue in this iteration of his career, reverential of the great balladeers before his time, bit of a sentimental side. Franke has opened for The Walkmen and The Wallflowers, but recently made his own solo headliner debut at Monks Jazz Club in Austin, performing to a sold-out room.
More shows are on the way this year, leading up to the release of a debut album, which Franke pulled out all the stops for, complete with a full orchestra and an ensemble of specially selected musicians and artists to bring this vision to life. As for you, dear music lover, dust off your own well-tailored ensemble and head out tomorrow night to see L.C. Franke at C-Boy’s Heart and Soul on S. Congress Ave., The show begins at 8 p.m. sharp, so don’t be late. It’s followed by THEBROSFRESH birthday bash at 10 p.m., which the AMM told you about earlier this week. All in all, a splendid night. Raising a glass to this next chapter. Cheers.
