Acclaimed Australian songsmith Lucie Thorne brings her sensational duet show - with legendary drummer Hamish Stuart - to  Sea Gardens, as part of an extensive national tour to celebrate the release of her stunning new album, Bonfires in Silver City.

Lauded for her unique voice, poetic lyricism, and tender-to-gutsy electric guitar playing, this new album has been recieving extraordinary acclaim across the country, described, and by many as her best work yet, and sees Thorne further hone her spacious, gritty, "exquisite miniatures of distilled emotion" (The Canberra Times) with that signature warmth and intimacy for which her live shows have become so renowned.

Thorne's last album, Black Across The Field (2009) was awarded Best Roots Album of 2009 by the Sydney Morning Herald, was short listed for the prestigious Australian Music Prize, and earned her a place as one of Australia's most distinctive contemporary songwriters, and with Bonfires in Silver City she has clearly hit her stride.

"Bonfires in Silver City reveals a subtlety and craft that eclipses Thorne's prior work." (Martin Jones, Rhythms Magazine)

"I've been listening to three great female artists in the last month; the first two, Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris require little introduction ... the third is a name lesser known, but her album Bonfires in Silver City is undoubtably the best of all three. Lucie Thorne is one of our own, and with this album she makes a firm statement that she is one of our finest. World-Class." (Chris Peken, Alternative Music Group)

"Mitchell fans will sense a resonance of 1976's Hejira, for many her masterpiece, in Bonfires in Silver City... the records are strikingly similar; poetic, introspective works that have a solidity and wholeness." (Ian Cuthbertson, The Australian)

"Thorne writes some of the most simple and beautiful songs you will hear" (**** The Age)
