Live Music: Dallas Frasca

🎤 Australian rock powerhouse Dallas Frasca returns from British Columbia with the most ambitious project of her career, announcing a run of performances spanning Canada, Australia and New Caledonia ahead of a brand-new album due for release in 2027.

Following the success of her independently released album Force of Nature, which debuted at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart, Frasca has continued to build one of Australia's most respected independent careers. Her songwriting has earned recognition through the APRA Music Awards, the Australian Women in Music Awards and the International Songwriting Competition, while her explosive live performances have seen her share stages with rock legends including ZZ Top & Patti Smith.

Seeking to push herself creatively, Frasca travelled to Vancouver with a singular ambition: to make the strongest record of her career. The album took shape across some of British Columbia's most iconic recording spaces, including The Warehouse Studio – Bryan Adams' legendary Vancouver studio, Smooth Operator Studios, hidden beneath the city's iconic CBC studios, and Capsule Studios on Bowen Island, just a ferry ride from the mainland.

Taking the reins as producer, Frasca worked alongside an extraordinary team of Canadian engineers and musicians, shaping the album around a singular creative vision while drawing on the collective experience of some of Canada's most celebrated musical collaborators.

"Nobody can hear what's in your head the way you can," says Frasca. "I felt ready to trust my instincts and communicate what I was reaching for, while drawing on the incredible experience of the people around me. Producing this record wasn't about doing it alone, it was about bringing together the right people and staying uncompromising with the artistic vision."

Frasca leaves British Columbia with more than a new album in the making. She leaves with lifelong creative collaborators, a catalogue of songs forged on Canada's west coast, and a tour connecting three countries before the record has even been released.

Beginning in Canada before crossing Australia and setting sail for New Caledonia and a trip to the top end, Arnhem Land, the tour will give audiences their first glimpse of the next chapter, pairing brand-new material with the powerhouse performances that have become Frasca's trademark.

These will be Frasca’s final shows of 2026, closing a year that has taken her from recording studios in Vancouver to stages across Australia, from Arnhem Land to the eastern seaboard. Her self-produced new album arrives in 2027.

Before that next chapter begins, come and be part of the final run. 🎸
