The Waif’s Vikki Thorn will play in Albany in June as the final show on a national tour.

Thorn, who records as ThornBird, is best known as one third of WA folk-rock band The Waifs.

She will return to her home city of Albany for the final show of her tour to support her debut solo album titled ThornBird.

The 12-track LP was two years in the making and takes inspiration from a decade she spent living in the canyons of Utah.

ThornBird explores the themes of home and connection to place, stepping away from The Waifs’ folk to embrace country and blues.

Known for her powerful vocals, Thorn has performed with Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Paul Kelly, John Butler and Missy Higgins.

She will be taking her new album on the road throughout WA in June.

The tour will finish with a show at the Albany Town Hall on June 18 when she will perform alongside Tammy London.
