Carriageworks Nights: NAIDOC
Carriageworks Nights is bringing together a lineup of First Nations musicians and storytellers for NAIDOC Week.
Overview
NAIDOC Week 2023 runs from Sunday, July 2–Sunday, July 9, championing the theme 'for our elders'. If you want to head along to an event celebrating Australia's First Nations people, the oldest living culture in the entire world, the NAIDOC Week website has a handy guide where you can find what's happening near you. One standout Sydney shindig that any live music lover should head to is this week's edition of Carriageworks Nights.
The expansive Eveleigh space is serving up a free night of talented, boundary-pushing Indigenous musicians and storytellers — plus a selection of food and drink items celebrating native Australian ingredients.
Popping up between 6–10pm on Thursday, July 6, Carriageworks Nights: NAIDOC is pulling together an eclectic lineup headlined by pop trailblazer Sycco. The Erub songwriter and performer will hit the stage with hits like 'Dribble' and her Flume collaboration 'Ripple' for a must-see set.
Joining Sycco will be the multi-talented rapper Dobby and violinist Eric Avery, as well as Kirli Saunders and Jazz Money — who will be providing attendees wth a pair of spoken word and poetry sets.
In charge of the food is Indigiearth, an award-winning, Aboriginal-owned culinary team that specialises in dishes and drinks that spotlight native Australian ingredients. On offer will be smokey pepperberry pulled-pork rolls; lemon myrtle Thai crocodile curry; and a vegan pumpkin, saltbush and lemon myrtle soup. There will also be a series of Archie Rose cocktails brought to life with ingredients like eucalyptus and rosella.
