Shining a spotlight on First Nations musicians, Bush Bands Bash will return to Alice Springs this year.

"It’s in communities like Alice Springs, and events like Bush Bands, that some of the greatest talents in our country are hidden," shared Mambali's Brad Bara

"I've seen [a] guitarist that could out shred Slash in these communities and it’s time they got the recognition they deserve."

Bush Bands Bash Program Manager, Laurie May, shared the excitement saying, "Bush Bands Bash is a celebration of the incredible, talented musicians in our community. 

"It's a time where they can let loose on stage and really show what they can do.

"It’s also an opportunity to showcase those talents for members of the national industry, so that our message goes further."
