Dallas Frasca has lapped the country spreading an epidemic of down and dirty roots rhythms around Australia. Described as "The Modern Day Janis Joplin", Dallas appreciates the comparison.

At the time she had no idea her music would cause the stir it has. From there, two of her songs hit top position on MP3.com, she's played numerous major festivals in Australia including (East Coast Blues & Roots, Falls Fest, Apollo Bay, A Day On The Green, Narooma Blues & Rockabilly Fest, Southbound, Pyramid Rock Fest & Point Nepean Fest alongside artists like Joss Stone, Ben Harper, John Butler & many more.
