Musicians for YES is an upcoming event to be held at the Kindred Bandroom in Footscray, described by band room manager Angus Ingram as a coming together of stellar Melbourne musicians.

The event will be held on Saturday, September 23, promising an afternoon of extraordinary music from First Nation and other Australian musicians.

Angus said the event aims to amplify the call for an Indigenous Voice in Parliament through the power of music and unity.

“This unique event will showcase a diverse range of musical styles, bringing together performers who are deeply committed to supporting and celebrating positive change in Australia’s political landscape,” he said.

Organiser Malcolm Hill said Kindred was the perfect spot to host this event.

“It’s just got that community sort of feel because even though it’s a gig, I think of it more like a community show,” he said.

“The idea is to have a celebration with the First Nation performers and have musical harmony and social harmony.

“Music is at a higher level, so we want to let the music speak for itself.”

Artists will include Dave Graney and Clare Moore, Jarrah, Madi Colville-Walker, Gareth Skinner, Robert K Champion, Richard Frankland, Greg Fleet, Claire Birchall, Laura Macfarlane, Malcolm Hill, Canisha, DJ Vince Peach and MC Karen Ingram.

“The event will provide an inclusive and family-friendly atmosphere, where attendees can come together to enjoy outstanding music, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences,” said Angus

“By joining forces with Musicians for YES, attendees will contribute to the collective efforts advocating for positive change and the inclusion of an Indigenous Voice in parliament.”
