_Melbourne-via-Canberra songwriter Patrick Frances—known for his dusky, irony-laced folk narratives—is set to launch his two latest singles, ‘RAYA’ and ‘Magnesium Cowboy,’ with a special performance at Fitzroy Pinnacle on Thursday 15 May.  
  
Released on April 12 via Undine Records, the tracks showcase Frances’ signature wry lyricism and haunting balladry. He’ll be joined by Hugh F and Pascale for an evening of storytelling and melody, offering fans a chance to experience the new songs live in an intimate setting.  
  
Hugh F writes folk songs that feel like diary entries accidentally broadcast over the supermarket PA. He floats somewhere between Naarm and the Wodonga Plaza food court. Hugh has toured with Darren Hanlon and supported Chastity Belt in the U.S., and somehow went viral singing about rats and horses. (This is not a metaphor.) With three self-produced albums and a knack for turning everyday moments into miniature anthems, Hugh continues to make music that feels like a group hug organised by an over-apologetic substitute teacher.

Pascale is a musician and an all-around creative soul based in Naarm. Pascale's music is a mix of poems surrounding life and nature and intuitively written guitar chords. This year, she released her first official music video and is currently working on her first album set to come out in 2026.
