Close to 200 came to the event at Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre to soak up Indigenous art, music, food, and the relaxed atmosphere.
\nDeadly Duo had the crowd participating early with a mix of covers and original material, and was joined by didgeridoo player Lyndon Perry, who again proved to be the hardest working muso at the festival, collaborating with popular acts Olly Friend and Alister Turrill.
\nOlly Friend won many new admirers with his solo stint and Alister Turrill\u2019s swampy slide guitar and stompbox-infused set kept the audience absorbed. Jayden Lillyst\u2019s engaging performance included influences from rock, roots and blues and mellow country, while Cherrywood\u2019s Josh Seymour was joined by Andrew Walker on violin, offering a stripped back take on tracks from his recent solo release Rope Tied Hope.
\nHeadliner Yirrmal, a rising star in Indigenous music, had the crowd hanging on his every word with a unique blend of traditional language and contemporary folk roots.
\nYirrmal closed the event with a rendition of Yothu Yindi\u2019s 1991 hit \u201cTreaty\u201d, which served as a poignant reminder of Narana\u2019s message of \u201cListening and Learning\u201d while promoting positive messages of reconciliation.
\nNarana Unplugged II continued the success of last year\u2019s inaugural event, and precedes NaranaFest, which will return in early November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
