Artback NT present Stuart Joel Nuggett and David Garnham & the Reasons to Live, with Kay Proudlove

Jingili man Stuart Joel Nuggett sings in both English and the severely endangered language of Jingulu. Moody folk tunes, southern rock and outlaw country from the Barkly Region of the Northern Territory.

Stuart is passionate about the plight of his people and hopes that through his songs he can connect with audiences from all walks of life. Under the title of the Jingili Song Project, he runs workshops writing and teaching songs in language, both around the country, and on country.

DG&TRTL look like truckers but sing like angels.  Despite coming from the tropical North these fellas are as dry as desert boots. Part larrikin, part broken bird, part bleeding heart, Garnham himself is awash with contradictions. His songs trail close behind in a mix of hope and hopelessness.

"Garnham’s ability to voice the everyman journey in stark yet dignified terms is a gift" - Foldback Magazine

Emotional and witty, Kay Proudlove is a Wollongong raised indie-folk singer-songwriter with a remarkably agile, engaging, honest, soul-bearing voice and a wry, dry-ice sense of humour. With a live performance style that is much like being invited into her lounge room, her songs are truly stories set to melody, by turns relatable, humorous and heartbreaking.
