We held another of our house concerts again on Saturday night. This time with Lucie Thorne. We have a couple of attempts to get her here in the past year, and this time all the stars were in alignment.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon/evening/night. Lucie is a very talented singer songwriter. We have all of her CD’s and enjoy listening to them a lot. So it is really nice to be able to have her here in our house for a few hours.
We particularly enjoyed our private performance when Lucie did her sound check.
and everybody else enjoyed the full performance, later that night.
Lucie has developed her own individual style, a soft breathy vocal style and such a gentle lyrical guitar sound that she has developed from her hollow body electric guitar, but turned down to the lowest possible level, so that the sound just gently washes over you with a soft reverb effect. She doesn’t really strum the strings, but emotes through her fingers in keeping with the vocal line of the songs. It so individual and idiosyncratic. She is a totally engaging performer. The music critic from the age described her music as “some of the most simple and beautiful songs you will hear” The Age.
We consider ourselves so lucky to be able to host her here in our house.
We have already invited her to come back again next year.
Check out her links below for more information on Lucie and her music.
