Thornbird 2026 Big Girl Pants Vic Shows

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. 

This February, she will be landing in Victoria for a short run of dates, tickets on sale now from thornbirdmusic.com

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.

“ThornBird exhibits the breadth of Thorn’s talent in very pleasing fashion.” Double J

“It showcases a rootsier, bluesier palette than the Waifs, dense with steely guitar, wailing harmonicas and Thorn’s beautiful, burnished vocals.” Sydney Morning Herald

“ThornBird shines with swampy, roaring guitars, stacked vocal harmonies and a simple, yet impactful drum beat.” NME
