    Event description

    Advance sales stopped. Tickets at the door.

    Trudy Fatnowna Edgeley is based on Wadawurrung Country and has recently completed an album, I AM HERE, engineered by Aria Award Winner Jeff Lang, and will launch it at The Coolroom on Saturday 21st September. It combines her stories of growing up in north Queensland as a descendant of ancestors blackbirded from Malaita Island in the Solomons. Songs also cover her family life with other mob being from Yidinji Country near Cairns, and even Jamaica.

    Musician, Trudy Fatnowna Edgeley’s rich ancestry is Yidinji. Trudy’s unique lineage and love for country gives her a deep cultural platform to share stories through art, music, and theatre. Trudy's haunting vocals, melodies, tropical tempos & tribal beats reflects not only her influences and passion for her music, but also her desire to tell the stories of her rich ancestry from the cane-fields of Far North Queensland to the shores of Jamaica. This results in well crafted songs that have the added interest of fascinating stories which have been seldom told.
