Event Description
Looking Forward, Looking Back celebrates the legacy of music and friendship shared by Slim Dusty and Australia’s First Nations people.
Legend has it, every First Nations guitarist will begin by learning a Slim Dusty song - the result of Slim’s deep respect for the people he met and the communities he traversed in his more-than-half-a-century-long career.
This performance will pair fresh reimaginings from Slim’s extensive catalogue with original new songs by First Nations artists who were inspired - in part - by Australia’s King of Country Music.
The show will feature emerging musicians from across North Queensland, joined on stage by some of Australia’s leading First Nations artists.
