Melville Summer Music returns, pack your picnic and get down to your local park for sun-drenched evenings with world class musical performances that surprise, captivate and enchant.Kicking off February’s concerts is the powerful vocals and evocative song writing of local favourite ThornBird. After 30 years of singing and touring as one-third of ‘The Waifs’, Vikki Thorn (aka ThornBird) returns home to find her voice in the wild places of WA.
A dynamic and passionate performer who has sung with the likes of Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Paul Kelly, John Butler, and Missy Higgins, ThornBird will play her solo material exploring themes of home and connection to place. Weaving country and blues and unique blues harp playing, join Thorn as she indulges her love of the old R&B singing style, warming us like a morning cuppa as she shares songs and stories of the humour and heartbreak of life.
