Lucy Wise's Second Album
Hello everyone!
My name is Lucy Wise, an independent singer-songwriter based in Melbourne. Over the past three years of my performing career, I have produced a solo EP and a debut
album (“Lucy Wise and The B’Gollies”), toured New Zealand and performed at
major folk festivals across Australia.
ABOUT MY SECOND ALBUM PROJECT:
I have been working over the past year and a half writing the material for my
second album, “When We Wander Far From Home”, a collection of songs inspired by
characters and stories I have encountered in my life as a touring musician.
Over the next two months, I will be producing this album, employing the help of
some of the best musicians, engineers and artists in the Australian music scene including:
Chris Stone – violin,
Graham McLeod – guitar and backing vocals, Mischa Herman – accordion, Holly
Downes – double bass.

Designer, Luci Everett - http://www.lucieverett.com/
In June, 2013 I will be touring The UK for the first time
with my duo act, Lucy Wise & Mischa Herman, supporting the popular Australian
choral group, The Spooky Men’s Chorale. Releasing my second album in April this
year will give me the opportunity to present my new work in the form of a very
high quality product to audiences in Australia, the UK and beyond.
In order to complete this album and share it with the world, I am going to need your help. Through my pozible campaign, I ask my friends, fans old and new to help me raise $10,000 in costs of creating this album.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
For as little as $10, you can help me achieve this aim, and any contribution
you can make will if course make a big difference to my career in the long run! As a thank you for your support of this project, there is a list of great rewards you can pledge for, from digital downloads of the new album (due April 2013), right through to a Lucy Wise and The B'Gollies house concert in your home for you, your family and friends!
