Francesca Blanchard - 'Rame'
She's coming to Portland on Nov. 19th at Doug Fir Lounge with Yuna.
"The title of Francesca Blanchard’s first full-length record, deux visions, speaks volumes in its own right, hinting at the richness of the music the album contains. It encapsulates the singer-songwriter’s dual identity on several levels: one word in French and the other in English, together meaning “two visions” and together enunciating the sound of the word “divisions.” Blanchard’s childhood in southern France and young adulthood in Vermont, interspersed with travels to over thirty different countries thanks to her parents’ humanitarian work, form the foundations for her poignant, bilingual meditations. Her original, intimate songs touch upon spaces “betwixt and between” and the search for love, home and sanctuary."
