Bart Willoughby and Shane Howard

A very special Sunday Session featuring Bart Willoughby and Shane Howard

Shane Howard says Bart Willoughby is ‘the tip of the spear in the modern indigenous song-line’. He is a pioneering Aboriginal Reggae artist best known for the defiant Indigenous anthem “We Have Survived”. A multi-instrumentalist and innovator in his field, he was the first Indigenous artist to score a feature film, the first to sign a record deal and to tour internationally with his band ‘No Fixed Address’

For 40 years Shane Howard has established himself as one of this country’s most influential writers and singers. Howard's songs created a new map of Australia. From the red heart, where he penned his anthemic ‘Solid Rock’, to the wilds of Tasmania that gave birth to ‘Let the Franklin Flow’, he’s created a uniquely Australian voice. His songs also reach across the globe and champion the cause of the common people, the environment and the injustices of colonization.

Howard and Willoughby have performed, written, composed and recorded together for nearly 40 years. This very special ‘one-of’ concert brings together these two iconic Australian songwriters and ‘musical brothers’ who have walked the long musical road - side by side.
