Francesca VannucciFrancesca Vannucci is a multi-faceted vocalist. Born and raised between the Jersey Shore and Italy, she began her classical education in New York before attending the Boston Conservatory. The close proximity to the Berklee Campus introduced her to jazz and was the start of a serious love affair with the genre.
She spent a few years pursuing acting and graced New York stages in several productions including a starring role opposite John Torturro in ‘The Souls of Naples’ before she came back to her first love of singing. Now she is living in Los Angeles, playing with her gypsy band ‘Francesca and the Bastards of Belleville’ as well as her female jazz trio ‘She Her & I.’
‘She Her & I’ is releasing their debut album fall 2013, produced by Scotty Morris of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s. You can also hear ‘She Her & I’ on the BBVD new Christmas album in 2013. ‘Francesca and the Bastards of Belleville’ will be going in the studio with Grammy award winning producer Glen Ballard to record their first “live” cd later this fall.
Francesca recently started her own project and is in the process of creating her first EP. Moving away from traditional Jazz, she is exploring her love for R&B/Soul and everything 90’s. http://www.vannucci.com
