Brief Biographical Sketch:

The blend of a 20-year-old’s sunny disposition with the wisdom of an old soul can be found in the folky pop-country musical creations of singer-songwriter Olivia Frances, Cincinnati native and winner of Best Pop Song of 2014 at the Ohio Music Awards. Olivia spent her gap year between high school and college in Nashville honing her distinctive sound of catchy pop melodies and the storytelling aspect of country music by co-writing with notable songwriters such as Billy Lee (“The One” by Gary Allan), receiving attention from heavy-hitting music publishers such as Warner/Chappell Music, and performing at the famous Bluebird Café. Now, Olivia attends college outside Boston and continues to perform regularly on the East Coast. She recently released her sophomore album, Evergreen, a follow-up to Back to Happiness.
