November 14th sees the release of the deluxe edition of Franc Cinelli’s stunning album Goodtimes Goodtimes through independent label Definition Arts.

The album features Franc’s current single Fortune Teller Song, signaling the changing mood of a collection of songs that marks a slight departure from the full Americana-Folk style he has become associated with.

Goodtimes Goodtimes is an album packed with upbeat torch songs, from the up-tempo ‘Diamonds In The Sky’ that will get you dancing in seconds, to the moody blue-grass harmonica-led sounds of ‘Point One’. Goodtimes Goodtimes contains a host of anthemic songs showcasing the tones of the great songsters of the American western migration, Francs signature vocals being the natural progression.

Franc Cinelli is a musical troubadour; he tells the story of the rugged everyman — like the traveller drifting on the wind, watching the world lit up by kerosene fires witnessed through the windows of moving trains. Franc is a companion; a gentle presence that does not demand your attention but positively inspires it.

Born in Rome and raised in London, his Music 101 course came from his mother's classic vinyl collection: Springsteen, The Police, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd & Bob Marley. He learned his trade playing shows, jumping on National Express coaches to play gigs in pubs, venues and front rooms from Hastings to Stornoway until there were enough songs to make a record.
Franc has been on several tours around the US where his alt/country & blues influences matured. At first this involved fitting in as many gigs as possible in a single night at the Greenwich Village coffee shops, bars and record stores, then graduating to playing seminal venues like Pianos and The Living Room on Ludlow Street, Sidewalk Café and Rockwood Music Hall in Manhattan, New York, Third and Lindsley and The Basement in Nashville.

Franc’s music interweaves his European roots with his American influences, exhibiting a truly global appeal.
