This week’s PBS Feature Album is Sing Your Own Song, the debut album from multi-talented Northern
Territory musicians, the Andrew Gurruwiwi Band.

A high-energy, eight-piece funk band who have honed their chops on the beach at Birrtjimi and in the dirt of Yirrkala, the Andrew Gurruwiwi Band write real funk jams in their native tongue, Yolngu Matha.

Much-loved Melbourne Jazz singer Julie O’Hara is in recovery from a serious brain aneurysm.  A fundraising gig for Julie and her family will take place at The Jazzlab, Brunswick on Friday June 28.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is This But More by Priori.

Francis Latreille's evolution as Priori seems deeply intertwined with a commitment to exploring new sonic territories and collaborative endeavors. This But More appears poised to be a significant milestone, blending elements of dubby techno with ambient textures, and drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of sources, including literature, cinema, and the natural world. 

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Alibi, the sophomore album by Naarm/Melbourne future soul artist Emma Volard.

Emma has never shied away from being a warrior for inclusivity, and these themes are often at the forefront of their storytelling. Alibi sees Emma stepping confidently into their own sonic world, expanding further on their introspective storytelling and pushing the limits of the future soul sound.
