“…Touch is like a drug, you’re my wonderdust
Inhale all your beauty, and the sky lights up …”

With these luminous opening lines, Wonderdust announces itself as an album of intimacy, atmosphere and emotional depth. The 10-track release from Lizzie Flynn & The Runaway Trains marks Lizzie’s fourth studio album and her first with this particular combination of musicians.

A rich culmination of Lizzie’s journey as a songwriter and performer, Wonderdust showcases her gift for storytelling and her instinct for melody. Lovers of acoustic music will delight in the ensemble’s effortless ability to step across genres, moving lightly through Celtic folk, bluegrass and contemporary roots influences while maintaining a cohesive and distinctive sound.

Lizzie Flynn (www.lizzieflynn.com), the primary songwriter and vocalist, is joined by The Runaway Trains — Samuel De Santi (guitar, mandolin), Gareth Mewes (violin) and Benja King (double bass). Having performed together for several years leading up to this recording, the group brings a natural chemistry and intuitive interplay to every track.

Lizzie’s sumptuous voice sits front and centre, carrying songs that draw on timeless themes of love and longing, dreaming and nostalgia. Alongside her original material, the album features carefully chosen covers of songs by Gordon Lightfoot and Darrell Scott, reflecting Flynn’s deep respect for the songwriting tradition.

The Runaway Trains provide a rich and textured backdrop: Gareth Mewes and Benja King bring their deep grounding in jazz, adding warmth and fluidity, while Samuel De Santi contributes a strong folk and roots sensibility through guitar and mandolin. This talent is showcased in 2 instrumental tracks on the album. Completing the sonic landscape, Lisa Brennan’s backing vocals are thoughtfully sprinkled like magic stardust across the album.
