FRED LEONE & RADIO FOR GHOSTS | July 12 2pm

Genre-defying artist and award-winning Butchulla Songman Fred Leone joins forces with award-winning producer, hip-hop artist and multi-instrumentalist Leigh Roy Ryan (aka Plutonic Lab) under the creative banner ‘Fred Leone & Radio for Ghosts’.

Together they craft deep, soul-driven music woven with Leone’s lived experiences as a First Nations man. Stories of social justice, grief, beauty, and enduring love rise to the surface, guiding listeners on a powerful and transcendent musical journey.

This striking collaboration brings together Leone’s commanding, soulful vocals and storytelling with Ryan’s deep rhythms, warm grooves, and expressive instrumentation.

Following performances at Brisbane Festival and Brunswick Music Festival, and ahead of their debut album, Fred Leone & Radio for Ghosts deliver an unforgettable, deeply moving experience rich with emotion.

Barragga Yangga, Many Songs took place over the weekend, and we hardly have words. A completely otherworldly performance experience curated by Four Winds First Nations Creative Director Cheryl Overton (nee Davison) & Djinama Yilaga Choir, produced by Four Winds.

Whilst otherworldly in feeling, it was tangibly grounded in Country, culture and community accessed through deep listening thanks to the unique storytelling of First Nations song and instrument, classical composition, taiko drumming and contemporary choir collaboration.

Supported by New South Wales Government through Create NSW and Destination New South Wales, Navigate Arts, Gang Gang Residencies, Bundanon Trust, QPAC and South East Arts.

Alongside the Barragga Yangga Patron Syndicate:
The Sutherland Foundation, Christina Kennedy, Georgina Ward, Tony and Sue Morrison, Baillie Family Foundation and Simon Bragg.

✨ There are too many people to thank, but we will do our best.
