Nausicaa: Judith Wright in Song w/ Jhana Allan

The Burning Glass is Nausicaä’s brand new collection of songs based on the poetry of Judith Wright. Throughout November, he’ll share these new works in places dear to Judith’s heart: the New England Tablelands, Braidwood, Brisbane, and Mount Tamborine. For this special intimate performance, Nausicaä joins forces with the soaring, spellbinding folk of local singer-songwriter, Jhana Allan.

Recalling the warmth and intimacy of Paul Simon and Nick Drake, Nausicaä sets the captivating poems of Judith Wright into musical motion. After showcases alongside the likes of Tiny Ruins and Angie Hart (Frente), his latest album, The Burning Glass, is ready to breathe new life into Wright’s timeless verse.

Jhana Allan is a multi-instrumentalist, and folk-rock singer songwriter, amongst many other hats she has worn throughout her long music career. She has supported Australian artists such as Frente, Fred Smith, Lucie Thorne and The Maes. In 2023 she recorded her sophomore album ‘Fake Paradise’ in Nashville, produced by her mentor, Americana artist Rachel Baiman, with 5 time Grammy award winning engineer Sean Sullivan (Margo Price, Andrew Marlin, Molly Tuttle) in his studio, The Tractor Shed.
