    Lucy Dacus is one helluva songwriter. Whether collaborating with boygenius, or crafting solo songs, she’s gathered a dedicated following across the world. Lucy just recently put out her fourth album Forever is a Feeling, but back in 2019 she was in Australia touring her second Historian, and I swooped at the chance to have her Take 5. She was 23 at the time, but already showing a wisdom that proved she’d have a long songwriting road ahead of her.

    A special treat in the feed this week, as Zan speaks with Justin Vernon in his only Australian interview. Bon Iver have just released their first new album in 6 years, and it's a lush, heartfelt love letter of song.

But it’s not without nuance, as you’ll hear across this beautiful conversation.

    Mahalia Barnes grew up surrounded by song. As the oldest child of Jimmy and Jane Barnes, music has always been in the blood, so it was no surprise that she inherited her dad’s extraordinary set of pipes, and set off on her own path. We may have first met her as a little kid in The Tin Lids, but pretty soon Mahalia entrenched herself in a world of jazz and soul.

Thanks Stewart! Just winding back my weekly role on News Breakfast. I’ll still be on Double J every Friday, making the Take 5 podcast, and making season 4 of Take 5 for ABC TV. Oh and hosting New Years. Hope you can join me there. ☺️
