Event description

PREPARE TO BE MOVED

This exciting special event will open with the heartfelt harmonies of two community choirs singing as one. Baraya Wakulda from Worimi Country was founded in 2019 by beloved elder Aunty Janice Paulson, auspiced by Forster Neighbourhood Centre. Wingsong is based in Wingham and has for 20 years acknowledged and respected the Biripi and Worimi Nations with their songs and performances in this region. The choristers are honoured to be supporting the amazing main artists, Stiff Gins, as part of an album launch tour with guitarist Angus Murray.

Stiff Gins, featuring Wiradjuri/Yorta Yorta woman Kaleena Briggs and Yuwaalaraay woman Nardi Simpson, form a powerful musical duo.

Their fifth studio album 'Crossroads' marks the 26-year career point for Australia's longest-performing all-female First Nations band. It also reaffirms the band's status as Matriarchal pioneers in the Australian Blak music scene.

'Crossroads' combines Stiff Gins signature blend of folk, roots, and First Nations language and culture with newfound depths of lyrical storytelling, intricate harmony and rich layers of instrumentation. The result is a sonic landscape resonating with both introspection and resilience, all forged against a political backdrop that advocates for increased representation and recognition of First Nations people in Australia.

'Crossroads' not only delves into the emotional landscapes of transformation but also sings up profound belonging amidst change. As Stiff Gins navigate these crossroads, they craft a musical tapestry that resonates with themes of resilience, self-discovery, and letting go. The album reflects personal and collective evolution while bearing testament to Nardi Simpson and Kaleena Briggs’ enduring spirit and sisterhood.

'Crossroads' is a celebration of Stiff Gins role as cultural custodians of Australian musical environment, one that invites past into present, merges tradition with innovation and seeks to sing a future overflowing with strength and grace.
