KAtie Thorne

Born and raised in the red dirt of rural NSW (Wiradjuri Country), Katie Thorne is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose sound is a mix of smokey old-soul/RnB à la Norah Jones and Amy Winehouse, with a modern-pop edge. 

Katie released her debut EP ‘Wine Drunk’ released in late 2022, a flirtatious, jazz-affected pop debut several years (and heartbreaks) in the making. This year has seen the release of several new singles as a part of an upcoming sophomore project, the most recent of which is titled ‘easy’, an open letter to the chaotic freedom of your twenties. 

For Hot Jazz Picnic, Katie Thorne will be accompanied by a 5 piece band composed of fellow Berklee College of Music alum trumpeter Lachie Day, guitarist Bryan Browne and, hot off the back of a European tour, the boys of the eclectic jazz trio Brekky Boy.
