Celebrating the sounds of Yarrabah

This year, the Yarrabah Band Festival will celebrate all things roots, reggae and soul with Melbourne urban outfit Blue King Brown, Indigenous singer-songwriter Shellie Morris and Torres Strait guitarist Chris Tamwoy.

Special guest and multi-instrumentalist James Morrison will jam alongside a stellar line-up of local artists including the Yarrabah Brass Band, Elverina Johnson, Djun Djun Jarra, David Hudson and the St Augustine’s College Big Band, before an all-in grand finale.

Bring a blanket, chair or cushion and enjoy an evening of music by the sea.
