Francesca De Fazi is an Italian songwriter and guitarist from Rome, Italy. She has called herself the Roman Blues Woman since she recorded one of her early albums in New Orleans years ago. Francesca has over 20 years of experience in music with a large background in studio and television recordings as well as live shows all around the world. She has collaborated with jazz, blues and pop artists such as Scott Henderson, Stefano Di Battista, Marcello Rosa, Andy J. Forest, Roberto Ciotti, Louisiana Red, Amii Stewart, Taj Mahal, Rory Block, Alex Britti, Grazia Di Michele, Mario Biondi.
Francesca describes the 11 tracks of "Craft Songs" as being “tied together with water, tears, sea, whiskey, rain, blood and amniotic fluid.” Even if the blues come to mind while first listening to the album, the music is much more than that. The album combines experimentations, research, ideas matured on the road and in Francesca’s dreams.
