Officially, Melanie Horsnell lists her home as Candelo – one of those little townships speckled on the map on the far south coast of New South Wales. The kind of place we’ve probably all dreamt about running away to where we’d indulge our creative sides and wake up to the sound of the currawongs or bellbirds every morning.
But it’s really just one of the places that colours Trobairitz – an album that pulls together the threads of 20 years of writing and performing. Surprisingly it’s her first of all original material delivered in the one-woman-and-one-guitar format, that Melanie has taken to living rooms and street corners, festival tents & small bars, and theatre stages she’s shared with the likes of The Frames, Glen Hansard, Jason Mraz, Bernard Fanning, and Sarah Blasko among others.
Melanie Horsnell is the very spirit of Trobairitz. These are latenight lullabies and buskers dreams. Recorded by ARIA-winning Australian producer, Paul McKercher, ensuring the clarity of the emotions and messages being revealed. They are songs from many times and places.
Trobairitz is the culmination of a life in song, capturing the very essence of Melanie Horsnell’s music. Whether you’ve been there throughout her many complicated adventures, or you’re a new member of the family, you will appreciate her emotive melodies and powerful lyrics.
"It’s a joy to listen to because for this troubadour there’s nothing to prove, just stories to tell, and the pleasures of sharing them." - Bernard Zuel
