Liz Frencham & Robbie Melville

Think ‘Jazz/folk bass diva’ or ‘Wine-soaked love child of James Taylor and Julie London’. From sultry sass to raw intimacy, with a little side order of irreverent humour!

Liz first crossed paths with  Robbie in a rural Victorian café  in 2013 and soon they were seeking out opportunities to play together. From their first rehearsal it was evident that a lengthy musical relationship was on the cards. The obvious chemistry between the pair is intensified by a willingness to never play any song the same way twice. Frencham’s warmth is met by Melville’s beautiful harmonic dissonances, and every nuance is distinct.

Other successful collaborations Liz has been involved with include FrenchamSmith, Jigzag & Dev’lish Mary and she continues to maintain a career as a respected accompanist, producer and arranger both onstage and in the recording studio.  Her diverse gang of artists both national and international including While &  Matthews(UK), Gregory Page(US) , Wouter Kellerman(Africa), Kristina Olsen(USA) and Mic Conway is ever expanding.

Always a luminous and generous presence, Liz Frencham possesses that unique ability to hold an audience fondly in the palm of her hand.
