2009 sets up to be a big year for Dominic Francis after being shortlisted for an APRA PD Award, and with the release of his debut album "Expression of Interest" in March.

An attempted intellectual, Dominic first stepped out of the lounge room to share his tunes with the world in 2007, and has since been earning a positive reputation on the local folk scene.

Honest, witty and insightful, Dominic explores and reflects upon themes such as love, grief, fatherhood and mateship. With a great deal of self observation in response to these subjects, it is the clear, emotive lyrics and hidden word plays that absorb the listener on a transparent, humorous and quirky journey.
