Lucie Hendry is a lever harpist from north-east Scotland, currently working between Denmark and the UK. Lucie fell in love with Scottish folk music at an early age, and this gave her work a strong foundation from which it continues to evolve. In recent years, Lucie has been exploring the boundaries of her instrument, weaving other musical influences and styles into her work, and exploring different constellations of instruments. During this time, she has built her reputation in the folk scene, touring throughout the UK as well as mainland Europe.

Following the release of an EP, Dawn Chorus, and an album, Still the Night (2020), by her Scottish violin and harp duo, Aves o’ May, Lucie was selected as a finalist for the 2021 BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year. In 2022 Lucie took part in the environmentally-focused music exchange programme, Making Tracks (UK), collaborating with seven other musicians from around the world during a month- long residency and tour. She self-published her first sheet music book for harp, Hygge Tunes, in the same year, and also featured on the much anticipated Christmas album, Come Behold: Christmas Collaborations by Scottish band Celtic Worship.

Lucie Hendry’s debut album, Land of Eden (June 2023), showcases the lever harp in a new light as she intertwines her Scottish folk music roots with influences from the Nordic jazz scene and elsewhere. Lucie’s time in Denmark has profoundly influenced her work and musical direction. The result is a debut album of original music, which bristles with musical curiosity at the same time as respecting the roots from which her music has grown. She is joined on Land of Eden by two Danish jazz musicians, Dennis Iversen (electric guitar) and Christoffer Skovhus (drums).

Lucie’s enduring appreciation of nature and the environment - instilled in her as a result of growing up in the Scottish countryside - continue to inform her music. Like many people of her generation, Lucie has already witnessed significant environmental change since her childhood, and this fuels her interest in environmental sustainability and compels her to use her music as a platform to inspire change. As part of Making Tracks she travelled between Denmark and the UK by train, while her upcoming album Land of Eden envisions a future in which people have rediscovered how to live in balance with their environment.
