Bird's nest present: Oscar Thorburn

Bird's nest presents: OSCAR THORBURN

Thorburn released his debut EP ‘Lost My Mind’ in 2020, featuring the hit single ‘6422’, which grabbed the attention of ARIA-winning artist Tones and I. 

Going on to place 4th in her ‘That One Song’ competition, Oscar then opened for her sold out show at the Enmore Theatre on the 19th May 2021.

With the release of his latest single ‘Vortex’, Oscar Thorburn is quickly making his voice heard as one of Sydney’s finest songwriters and performers, playing several SOLD OUT, headline shows around Sydney in the past 12 months. (Factory Floor, Oxford Art Gallery, The Oxford Bathurst - Great Southern Nights). 

Oscar has also developed quite a following on Spotify, with ‘6422’ receiving 120k+ streams, and more than 210k total streams. He has been featured on several playlists as well as on national and local radio stations, all of which has been independently managed by himself.

Support act for the night is the local Sophie Edwards. Not your average pop singer, Canberra bred Sophie Edwards pairs hard-hitting lyrics with multi-genre explorations to create her moody pop music. Taking her music out of the practice rooms at the ANU School of Music and onto some of Canberra’s biggest stages, she has performed huge gigs such as the Groovin the Moo Warm Up Party, Live in Ya Lounge, Googfest, The National Folk Festival and her own sold-out show in 2019.

After signing with local record label Vacant Room Records in 2020, Sophie released “Early Bird”, her first major single infusing her brooding jazz-inspired vocals with folk-pop elements. The song has clocked up over 10,000 streams on Spotify and has received airplay across the country
