Great Southern Nights presents Budjerah

Budjerah comes to Hurstville Entertainment Centre on Saturday 28 November in a special intimate FREE show as part of the Great Southern Nights series of events throughout NSW.
 
For 18-year-old artist Budjerah Slabb, making music was an inevitability. Raised in a home full of instruments by a family whose time was split between playing in family bands and leading worship services in the local church, Budjerah has crafted a sound that melds the formative elements of gospel and soul, with contemporary pop and R’n’B references.
 
He found kinship with ARIA and J Award-winning artist Matt Corby, who produced his upcoming debut EP. Corby's studio is located close to Budjerah's home in Fingal Head – traditionally the land of Bundjalung people, from which Budjerah is descended – and the two clocked countless hours comparing notes and crafting the sound that would introduce the world to what Budjerah can do.
 
Budjerah sings on Missing You. A melancholic and sophisticated R'n'B track that melds longing lyrics with a sparse sonic palette, the single taps into the sense of isolation Budjerah knows he isn't alone in experiencing.
