Over the past 25 years, Tasmanian born, Melbourne-based artist and producer Lucie Thorne has made a lot of music, writing and releasing over a dozen albums and touring prodigiously across Australia, Europe and North America. She’s been lauded for writing “some of the most beautiful songs you will hear” (The Age) creating “exquisitely impressionistic… poetry in motion” (Rolling Stone Magazine).
