“ This music is alive with heart and wit .”
~ SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
Writer and Director CLINTON WALKER
To find the soul of our land we have to dig deep . Long before Aboriginal painters , filmmakers and dance companies were becoming household names , generations of Indigenous musicians were finding a voice in white Australia through country music .
When Clinton Walker began delving into this forgotten history , he never expected that the songs and stories he would uncover would go on to inform a book that went from instant cult classic to widely recognised masterpiece , and that a film and album would follow .
Now these same musical stories are brought to the stage in a concert featuring singers and songwriters from across the continent and across the generations , from iconic elders Roger Knox , Auriel Andrew and L . J . Hill , Central Desert legend Warren H Williams , to younger artists such as Leah Flanagan , Luke Peacock and James Henry .
A potent and moving song cycle and a tribute to an enduring musical tradition : this is music that couldn ’ t stay buried .
