Local muso makes album debut
DUBBO-BORN singer songwriter Katie Thorne will launch her debut EP later this month.
Entitled ‘Wine Drunk’, the album will feature five original tracks by the talented 28-year-old artist.
Flirtatious in nature with hints of jazz weaved throughout, this debut is several years, and heartbreaks, in the making.
“I look at the ’Wine Drunk’ EP as a kind of heartbreak life cycle,” she told Dubbo Photo News.
“From the heady rush and excitement of a new crush to desperation and self-destruction, and everything in between.”
Now based in Sydney, Ms Thorne is booked for several gigs at popular city venues most weekends.
While performing at the East Village Hotel in Balmain last weekend, Ms Thorne was spotted by popular radio personality Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, host of Fitzy and Wippa on Nova 969.
Mr Fitzgerald shared a video of Ms Thorne singing with 127,000 Instagram
followers.
To celebrate the milestone launch of her EP, Ms Thorne is performing her first ever, one-off headline show at the Petersham Bowling Club on October 27.
Complete with support acts, the show will feature live band arrangements and an exclusive look at unreleased originals by Ms Thorne.
“I’m really excited about the launch but also definitely quite nervous,” she said.
“This is the first time I’m doing anything like this and to be playing my songs, along with some sneaky unreleased tracks too, with a full band and a line-up is actually a pretty big deal for me.
“Nerves aside, I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on with everyone; tickets are selling so fast, I think it’s going be a great night.”
Tickets to the launch show can be purchase via Moshtix, and the EP ‘Wine Drunk’ is available to presave on Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer before being released on Friday, October 21.
