COUNTRY star Fanny Lumsden is bringing her Story Club tour to Murwillumbah’s Citadel on Saturday, November 9.<\/p>\n

The show invites the audience to sit around the virtual kitchen table and chat with the artist about the themes and ideas that inspired songs from her four award-winning albums.<\/p>\n

From growing up on a western NSW sheep farm to a multi-awarded career and four albums, including the ARIA-winning Hey Dawn and Fallow, Lumsden’s work is steeped in the tradition of place.<\/p>\n

Chatting with this masthead, Lumsden said the show will mine much of her back catalogue.<\/p>\n

“It’s designed to be like a book club but for songs,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It will focus on my latest album, Hey Dawn; however, we will feature songs and stories from the previous three. Every song has a bit of long, convoluted story.”<\/p>\n

A regular face on television programs such as Spicks and Specks, Rockwiz, Play School Showtime, and The Set, Lumsden is an advocate for musician’s charity Support Act, a volunteer firefighter, and a documentary filmmaker.<\/p>\n

The busy creative also runs her record label and production company, Red Dirt Road, with her husband, Dan Stanley Freeman. She was named the 2021 Albury Local Woman of the Year for her work with regional communities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lumsden regularly tours the UK, where her brand of Australian country goes down remarkably well across the pond.<\/p>\n

“It’s been incredible. We have been over there three times in the last 13 months, kicking it off playing Glastonbury last year,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s been nuts – the audiences are so willing to try something new and are really enthusiastic.”<\/p>\n

While on the Story Club tour, Lumsden is simultaneously writing for her next album.<\/p>\n

“I’m starting to work out how that will look and feel. It’s one of my favourite parts of the process – the inception of new ideas and stories,” she said.<\/p>\n
