SONG KEEPER BRINGS HER MODERN TAKE ON ANCIENT SONGLINES
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Songkeeper Jessie Lloyd is bringing her Sing On Country show to Kiama’s Folk By The Sea festival, hoping to create a “pub-choir vibe” for audiences to embrace the chance to learn songs that tell Aboriginal stories in Aboriginal languages.
“Music is a powerful way to connect people and find commonality.” she says.
Sing On Country is a collection of songs Lloyd has either written herself or collaborated on from around the country that seek to share First Nations culture and stories. Jessie describes one of her songs as a “modern songline of Australia”.
“These songs are safe, not over-complicated, and a beautiful way to approach difficult subjects,” Lloyd says.
