With her cropped platinum do and bold blazer, you’ve probably guessed that Laura Frank isn’t your ordinary country singer. Imbuing her sound with more rock edge than the average, she recently earned the People’s Choice Award for Most Promising Future Star at the 2023 Tamworth Country Music Festival. If you’re not already across her music, her latest single “Days Gone By” is the ideal introduction.
Laura says this song is “a thank you to the lessons learnt, the mistakes made, the journey had. Or more accurately – a ‘Thank you, but I don’t need you anymore’.”
“Over the years I put up walls and built castles around myself to protect myself from the disappointment, the failures & the mistakes,” she added. “In more recent times I’ve started to knock those down and forge a new path. Without those experiences or lessons, I wouldn’t be the person I am.”
Laura produced the video with her partner Nick Morrissey.
“From the concept, to design, hair and makeup, set, videography to editing, Nick and I have been doing it with just ourselves.”
In the video, shot in the Queensland hinterland, Lisa takes the wheel of a 1950 Chevy. She makes it look easy, but looks can be deceiving!
“It’s the first time I’ve driven a left-hand drive car… it was strange, but didn’t take me long to get the hang of it!”
Speaking of driving, Lisa will put some kays on her vehicle in the coming months as she plays shows around her home state:
11 March 2023 – Cooly Goes Country @ The Coolangatta Hotel, Yugambeh Country/Gold Coast
29 April 2023 – Twin Towns Clubs & Resorts, Bundjalung Country/Tweed Heads (supporting Chocolate Starfish)
27 May 2023 Vixens of Fall @ Caloundra RSL, Kabi Kabi Country/Sunshine Coast
