After a busy 2018-2019 festival season, singer-songwriter Lucy Wise returns to Castlemaine for a special afternoon concert of songs from the road, as well as songs written during times spent at home, walking the streets and creek paths of Melbourne’s inner North.
Lucy Wise is a Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter. Accompanying herself on guitar, ukulele and Appalachian dulcimer, she creates a contemporary sound that draws upon her roots in folk, old-time American and Celtic music. The evocative imagery and universal themes in Lucy’s songs have won the hearts of listeners from a diverse range of backgrounds and have seen her tour three albums and two EP’s in Australia, NZ, the US and the UK. Lucy’s latest album, “Winter Sun” was received with critical acclaim: a 4.5 star review in the Weekend Australian and a nomination for The Age Music Victoria Awards’ Best Folk or Roots Album. Her trio lineup includes Dan Witton on double bass and Mischa Herman on accordion. With intricate arrangements and spine-tingling vocal harmonies, they explore themes of love, friendship and the relationships people form with their environment. “Lucy infuses songs with a sense of place so strong you can almost feel the dusty earth crunch beneath your feet as she sings,” says The Brag.
