The Yearlings and Lucie Thorne
About
THE YEARLINGS
The Yearlings (Robyn Chalklen and Chris Parkinson) have an undeniable connection, the chemistry evident in their performance makes it feel like magic. There is an intangible quality to their set that draws you in completely.
Their current album ‘Luck’, mixed by Chris Shaw in Austin TX (Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow) and produced by Lucie Thorne, took out the 2023 Roots Album of the Year (Adelaide Blues & Roots Association). Their music is intimate, raw and powerful, producing a new strain of acoustic music, siting somewhere between folk, blues, and country.
This is a simplistic comparison however, Robyn Chalklen and Chris Parkinson have their own distinct identity - their songs speak directly to an Australian experience and despite their performances being completely stripped back to voice and guitars, they have a distinct hypnotic groove that is irresistible.
LUCIE THORNE
Lauded for writing "some of the most simple and beautiful songs you will hear" (****The Age), Lucie Thorne has earned her place as one of Australia's most striking contemporary songsmiths. With twelve releases to her name and a prodigious touring schedule, Lucie Thorne continues to carve out an extraordinary creative career.
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.
Thorne's new album Kitty & Frank is an extraordinary art/pop concept record which traces the wild true stories of young frontier woman Kitty Walsh and her lover, the charismatic bandit and bushranger Frank Gardiner. In the 1860’s, Gold Fever came to Wheogo NSW and, like Deadwood, it didn’t end well. Painting landscapes with dream-soaked synths, irresistible beats, poetry and pathos, with Kitty & Frank Thorne has woven an astonishing arc of vignettes to create an album which is at once timeless and utterly modern.
“intimate, ethereal… irresistible” (The Weekend Australian)
"exquisitely impressionistic... poetry in motion" (**** Rolling Stone Magazine)
