Scottish lever harpist, Lucie Hendry, is joined by guitarist, Chris Amer (Scotland), and drummer, Christoffer Skovhus (Denmark), in folk fusion band, the Lucie Hendry Trio. Together, they have crafted a distinctive blend of original folk music infused with contemporary jazz influences, drawing deeply from Lucie’s experiences since relocating to Denmark in 2021.

In June 2023, Lucie released her debut solo album, Land of Eden, recorded by her Denmark based trio. The album has received widespread acclaim, featuring on national radio in both Denmark and the UK, including stations such as BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 2. The trio has toured in Denmark and Scotland with performances at major festivals such as Celtic Connections and Aarhus & Copenhagen Jazz Festival.
