In September ten Territory musicians attended a three-day Songwriters Retreat at Mount Bundy Station one hour south of Darwin, presented by Music NT and APRA. Working with each other - in some cases for the first time - these artists wrote around 15 new songs and had an unforgettable experience that was all about the music.
This Saturday November 28th at 9pm, the Retreat artists will come together at Darwin venue Happy Yess to perform their new material. They include Gretchen Ennis (Straight Skirt), Jess Ribeiro (The Bone Collectors), Kris Keogh, (Blastcorp), 'Road To Tamworth 2009' semi-finalist Dave Garnham (The Moving Targets), and more. Cheer them on and witness the birth of more original NT music!
