Frances England originally created her debut CD, Fascinating Creatures, as a fundraiser for her son’s preschool and never thought anyone outside of her own circle of family and friends would hear it.

But thanks to the Internet, the power of word-of-mouth and some great reviews, the CD began making its way into family homes across the globe. With music titles like Fast Train to Grandma’s, Daddy-O, Busy as a Bee, and Digging in the Dirt, it’s no wonder the pre-school set relates to her alluring, original music.

The songs on Frances’ new album, Family Tree, were written around the birth of her second son and retain the same warm, intimate, indie-folk feel that so many of us connected with on Fascinating Creatures. Her airy voice and soulful lyrics will have you humming along, too.
