FRANSSENS: EP Launch | Other Space Arts
2026-07-11 19:00 - 23:00 | Other Space Arts, Windsor, Kardelton House, Vansittart Estate, Windsor, SL4 1SE
Country blues with rich baritone vocals
• BUY TICKETS
Dan Franssens: Born in Luxembourg, raised in Northampton, and now firmly rooted in Berkshire, FRANSSENS is a Country/Americana singer-songwriter who stepped into the world of solo acoustic songwriting in 2024, quickly building a reputation around intimate live performances, precise guitar work, rich baritone vocals, and honest storytelling.
• LISTEN TO “COLDER” NOW

Drawing influences from classic Country, Blues, and Bluegrass, FRANSSENS developed his songwriting style around the idea that a great song should be able to captivate a room with nothing more than a voice and an acoustic guitar. That approach led to his upcoming debut EP “I’ll Go First”, a live solo-acoustic record built around vulnerability, warmth, and the feeling of sitting in the room with the artist as the story unfolds. The EP releases July 11th, with debut single “Colder” available now on all streaming platforms.
While “I’ll Go First” captures the intimacy of his solo-acoustic performances, the recent addition of his full band, “Franssens & Friends”, allows the songs to evolve into a more dynamic live experience inspired by the energy and spirit of classic Outlaw Country and modern Alt-Country artists such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Tyler Childers, and Sturgill Simpson.
FRANSSENS has been establishing himself as an original artist in Berkshire since 2024, where he started on the open mic circuit. He is set to be joined by local artists Huw Tarry and Kiera Elise, both songwriters in their own right.
Having spent the last two years refining his craft through open mics, beer festivals, grassroots venues, and support slots across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and beyond, FRANSSENS is emerging as a distinctive new voice in the UK Americana scene.
