Charlie Needs Braces is the live looping project of GuriNgai sisters Charlie and Miri, blending energetic soundscapes with language and storytelling. Since winning the 2022 Upstart Awards and 2023 Archie Roach Award, they've performed nationwide, including festivals like Woodford, Port Fairy, and St Kilda, and recently supported The Teskey Brothers on tour. Their debut album Saltwater People featured the standout single ‘Daryung’, earning praise from triple j, ABC, and RAGE. Their latest release, NYAA WA ("take care" in GuriNgai language), continues their mission to celebrate and protect culture, Country, and sacred sites, with music videos landing in RAGE’s Top 50 and coverage across Spotify, Apple, and Women In Pop. Charlie is also known for work with Casey Donovan, The Teskey Brothers, and Tek Tek Ensemble.

What is Rock-A-Bye-Baby? It's a no frills day time concert designed for both adults and kids alike, and is PBS' way of connecting the youngest music lovers to the bands and artists that make up our city's diverse and ever-expanding music community. We welcome noise, encourage crawling, and expect dancing!
