Artist History After a successful CD release and tour in Europe as lead singer/songwriter for the band the Holograms, Fran Lucci returned to the US to start her solo career, kicked off with a nod from the '99 Lilith Fair Unsigned Artist contest where she was selected as a finalist. Next, she released her first solo album entitled "Mandays" and has began performing around the LA area both solo and with her band ever since. She is currently writing and recording the songs that will be on her 2nd CD. Fran has enjoyed much success from the internet. Her song "Sheree" reached #1 on the Farmclub.comwebsite following a television appearance on the debut episode of the Farmclub TV show. Her song Day Dreamin remained in the top 40 of the MP3 pop acoustic charts for more than a month. Fran has had a number of her songs placed in Film and Television "Felicity", "Dawson's Creek", "Love Potion #9", "The Trojan War", "Following Her Heart" and Oprah's Oxygen Network, to name a few. Jennifer Love Hewitt recorded "I Believe In" on her 1997 release; a song that Lucci co-wrote with David Paul Bryant & Dara Stewart. Last summer Fran and her band members were flown to NY to perform in the Atlantic Records and Steve Madden performance of their favorite three female fronted bands. Currently Fran's "Day Dreamin" was featured on the NBC reality show "Meet My Folks". Her song "Psycho" was also featured in Sylvestor Stallone's "Avenging Angelo" and three of her songs were included in the soundtrack to Matt LeBlanc's "All the Queen's Men".

Albums Mandays, Fran Lucci (self titled)

Press Reviews NEWS.COM - FRAN TALKS ABOUT FARMCLUB.COM 2/14/00. Review of Fran's 1st release "MANDAYS" by Ruth Shaer First New Jersey spawned Springsteen, the poet/singer/voice-of-a-generation. Then came master songstress Fran Lucci. Listening to her brilliant debut CD Mandays, you'll realize that the comparison is not a stretch. Singer/songwriter/guitarist, Fran Lucci is the voice of everywoman. A mellifluous and hardrocking blend of Tori Amos, Chrissie Hynde and Shawn Colvin. A voluptuous version of Sandra Bullock. A sexy, rock n roll woman with whom men will easily fall in love. A woman talking to her best friend on the phone about her latest man troubles. A singer wafting out heartgrabbing melodies like Coin in her Pocket, an achingly beautiful song about the compulsion to call an ex. A witty hard-edged rocker singing ironically about Dick. Lucci starts out her startling CD with the elegant Planned Community that sings to the stymied artistic soul that needs to breakout of stifling suburbia. She segues into Oh Ma, an innocent song about moving in with her boyfriend, yet subtly suffused with shadows, transitioning into the sadly beautiful Colors, about feeling the iridescent blue of puddles after a heavy rain swishing in your solar plexus.Mandays is an album by a woman coming to terms with a relationship. An opus for women falling in love and out and coming out the other end, an inspirational bruise on love's landscape as in the incredible I Don?t Care that hits you hard in your heart but leaves you cheering: Yeah! You Go Girl!: You can tell all our friends what you think I'm about/You can hit me babe, but you'll just knock yourself out/Cause you know/ I don't care anymore what you say/I don't care anymore what you do. Mandays concludes with the hilarious Wrong Way Dick: She met him at her brother's it was a Friday night/She just touched down from Brooklyn/She was bitchy, so damned bitchy from the flight, ending with what most of us would find unpalatable to think about never mind sing about: Now the rest is history about the night I was conceived/My mama gave directions and my Daddy did the Deed.And it's a good thing for the rest of us that he did.
