Two showcases for local artists in one month? Is this really an April fool’s joke? Nope. It’s for real! Bay Area Beat, new the Bay Area music magazine dedicated to local artists and musicians, proudly announces its second artist showcase on Friday, April 24, 2009 at Pro Star Sound Stage (3220 28th Street North, St. Petersburg, Fl 33713) with singer/songwriter extraordinaire Adrianne.
Adrianne is no stranger to the Bay Area. A native of Miami and currently living in Atlanta, she’s been performing her unique brand of soulful music for over ten years, by way of Miami, Boston, Toronto, London, Atlanta and Los Angeles. She’s shared stages with Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Lori McKenna, Jeff Buckley, Melissa Ferrick, Tegan and Sara, Girlyman, Peter Mulvey, Jonatha Brooke, The Weepies, Kristen Hall, and Men-at Work singer Colin Hay. Her songs have appeared on Men in Trees, Grey’s Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer, One Tree Hill, Dirt, Studio 60, Guiding Light (soap it up!) and several films such as Eulogy and The Deal (with Christian Slater) and several movies on Lifetime. For more information, please go to www.adriannemusic.com.
Opening for Adrianne is US Virgin Islands-born Tampa-based singing sensation Francillia, an incredibly talented and versatile performer currently with Bay Area psychedelic dance/club outfit Beatnik Castle. A former Ms. St. Croix and VI Vixen Swimsuit Calendar model, Francillia was the 2008 Regional winner Best Female Contemporary singer Talent Quest Finals in Ybor City last year.
In addition to singing Beatnik Castle’s current dance/club single “Will U B Mine?” Francillia, with piano accompaniment from Jeff Felten, will perform acoustic versions of new material from her upcoming solo CD “Temptation,” scheduled for release in 2010 on Mad Monk, LTD Records.
