ThornBird (Vikki Thorn from The Waifs) @ Tanswells

ThornBird is the electrifying solo project of Vikki Thorn. With a voice honed over three decades at the heart of The Waifs, Australia’s iconic globally touring folk-rock band, ThornBird emerges as a bold new force on the global stage. Her debut self-titled solo album (2022) drew critical acclaim, earning nominations for both an ARIA and a WAMI Award for Best Blues and Roots Album.

ThornBird draws on a life lived traversing the wild geographical landscapes of Utah and Western Australia. Intertwining Americana grooves with blues harp and a folk storytelling ethos, she presents a sound that is uniquely Australian. Channelling stories of strong women, solitude, untamed places, love, loss and life lessons into every song. ThornBird is not just a Waif out on her own; she’s a global artist in full flight.
