Brooke Seabrook - The Making of “Took My Town Away”

Step inside LWM House Studio with Brooke Seabrook, the 2026 Thornton Young Award winner, for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of her new single, “Took My Town Away.”

Recorded as part of Brooke’s Thornton Young Award prize, the song was released on 29 May 2026 and continues the award’s focus on supporting Australian bush and heritage artists, storytellers who sing about Australia, its people, places, history, and heart. Initiated by Lindsay Waddington, the Thornton Young Award recognises emerging artists who carry Australian stories forward through song.
