Singular Voices: Kee'ahn and Babitha — CANCELLED
Catch the proud Gugu Yalanji, Jirrbal, Zenadh Kes songwoman and rising alt-country star at what promises to be one spellbinding night.
Overview
UPDATE: Friday, August 6, 2021 — In light of Greater Sydney's current COVID-19 situation, Vivid Sydney has been cancelled for 2021 and plans to go ahead next winter instead.

Here, two amazing performers headline a double bill. Firstly Kee'ahn. In the language of the Wik people of Cape York, her name means 'to dance, to sing, to play' – an apt descriptor for the proud Gugu Yalanji, Jirrbal, Zenadh Kes songwoman whose music is a celebration of classic soul and the joy of melody.
On the other side of the lineup is Babitha, the moniker of alt-country performer Imogen Grist. Her music explores the cultural trope of 'the other woman' — from Jolene to Becky with the good hair — giving a depth and dimension that's often glossed over. Vivid Sydney's Singular Voices program brings these two artists together for an evening of unmissable musical exploration.
