Lauded for writing some of the most simple and beautiful songs you will ever hear, Thorne has earned her place as one of Australia’s most striking contemporary songsmiths.
With 11 releases to her name – including her latest LP Everything Sings Tonight – and a prodigious touring schedule, Thorne continues to carve out an extraordinary creative career.
After several years working quietly under the radar, Thorne’s 2009 release Black Across The Field brought her to the attention of a much broader audience.
This album was shortlisted for the prestigious Australian Music Prize, was awarded Best Roots Album of 2009 by the Sydney Morning Herald and had a song selected for inclusion on a Universal Records international compilation alongside Leonard Cohen and Radiohead.
Since then Thorne has been touring far and wide in a sensational duo collaboration with legendary drummer Hamish Stuart.
Their 2011 release Bonfires In Silver City was hailed as an album of powerful intimacy and poetic deliverance.
With Everything Sings Tonight, Thorne and Stuart truly hone their exceptional duet sound.
At once bold, poetic and musically adventurous, the album traverses an expansive sonic palette, marking an inspired creative benchmark for the pair.
Recorded predominately in Berlin and featuring heavyweight guests including Bo Ramsey, Chris Abrahams and Greg Brown, it shines with atmospheric, innovative brilliance.
It’s a mighty ride; and one that’s buoyed by that signature warmth and intimacy for which their live shows have become so renowned.
Along with a remarkably consistent Australian touring schedule, Thorne also tours regularly across much of the European and North American continents.
Lucie Thorne will perform a matinee show at the Murrah Hall on November 29 from 3pm with Hamish Stuart and special guests Pete Wild and Kate Burke.
Wild is well regarded around the country as a songwriter and Burke is internationally known from her duo work with fellow songstress Ruth Hazleton.
Tickets are $18.50 pre-sale at www.trybooking.com or $20/25 at the door.
