Her performances at renowned locales like The Water Rats, Folklore Hoxton, and Blues Kitchen are a testament to her unwavering dedication and deep connection to her craft and the audience.
In “Seasalt,” FRAN LUSTY’s mellifluous vocals and evocative lyrics intertwine with the rich tapestry of folk influences. Her songwriting prowess allows listeners to journey through emotions, grappling with the tension between urban reality and the call of the wild.
