With signature songs such as ‘Ocean’ and 'Kimberley', John's love of this region is obvious. Butler’s most recent studio album, 2018’s ‘HOME’, debuted at number one on the ARIA Charts with the record exploring new sonic territory, expanded instrumentation and experimentation which challenged but accentuated his core roots sound.
Supporting the cause, is highly celebrated, ARIA-nominated, award-winning Indigenous singer and songwriter Emma Donovan (@emmadonovan_music). Best known for her work with greatly admired Melbourne rhythm combo The Putbacks and the extraordinary Black Arm Band project, Emma has been touring the country for over 20 years, performing soulful songs and sharing powerful stories with audiences around the globe.

The Kimberley is in good hands with Kankawa Nagarra Knight. Walmatjarri woman born in the desert, Olive Knight’s traditional name is Kankuwa. She remembers nullanullas thumping the bare earth, clap sticks and boomerangs, and the rhythmic songs of her forefathers. Olive's vision is to see her people heal and she believes music is an integral part of this process.
