For this concert, welcome The Sandridge Band (NT) and Butter.

Hailing from Borroloola, Northern Territory, The Sandridge Band (NT) blend rock, reggae, merging roots and blues to reflect life in their community.  

Their performances combine traditional Indigenous languages with contemporary sound palettes, creating a culturally rich, danceable experience. Their latest album, ‘Brolga Dreaming’, draws on influences from the Yanyuwa, Gurrawa, Mara and Gurdanji clans.  

Come along to enjoy a rare opportunity to see them perform in WA and celebrate their unique sound and the spirit of their community.
