This November and December, with support from Create NSW, Yulli's Brews and RØDE, Spunk Records and Dinosaur City Records are taking their labels' combined local rosters and friends return to their roots to perform, educate and engage with the communities in which they were raised, inspiring the next generation of young musicians across New South Wales. Artists including Jack Ladder, Big White, Body Type, Shining Bird, Steve Gunn (USA), Floodlights, Flowertruck, Sunscreen, Lachlan Denton and more will be performing ten shows down the coast from Bellingen to Mona Vale, Wombarra to Wagga Wagga. We are close to the halfway mark (and biggest weekend) of the tour, having completed three shows so far including our sold-out launch at Marrickville Golf Club on November 9, a big bush party at Murrah Hall last weekend and a sunset show at Cooma Bowling Club on the Sunday.
