Thornbird live performance
A veteran of the Australian music landscape, ThornBird has been making music and writing songs for 32 years with The Waifs. In her solo project, Vikki Thorn, aka ThornBird, stretches her wings wide - and it is with a slightly heavier groove that she moves out on her own, side stepping the confessional folk of The Waifs to indulge in her love for Americana and blues music.
