The inaugural Regional Venue Collective tour features Wild Thyme, the love-child of three of Australia’s most talented and captivating female artists, Arlene Fletcher on double bass and vocals, Katie Crane on guitar and vocals, and Laura Targett on fiddle and vocals.
Wild and upbeat, tender and soulful, their unique and virtuosic instrumental expertise, outstanding improvisational skills and sweet vocal harmonies mesmerise audiences.
Coming from diverse musical and cultural backgrounds infuses their musical influences – creating an exciting brew which covers many genres and invents a few along the way.
With a healthy respect for tradition, Wild Thyme also have one foot firmly planted in the contemporary world and the original compositions they are crafting are gaining acclaim.
