Kutcha Edwards

Overview

It could be easy to take it personally if you’ve had the kind of life Kutcha Edwards has. Part of the stolen generation, he was separated from his parents from the age of 18 months to 13 years old. He’s struggled with this separation, his aboriginality, racism, drink and drugs throughout his life.

But Kutcha’s never been one to take it lying down, and "Get Back Up Again", the first single from his just released third album Blak and Blue, is a testament to his attitude. Facing adversity and bouncing back is a recurring theme for this blues-soul singer, who’s used his life of ups and downs to weave raw, honest and intimate songs about his life, family and culture that have seen him earn a place as one of Australia’s most respected soul singers.

A compelling storyteller and a powerful live performer, his music has taken him from ovals in the NT, to sharing a stage with the likes of Paul Kelly. In this show, you can expect a combination of originals and songs which have had meaning and impact, which make up Kutcha's latest album.
