Luritja musician Keanu Nelson will bring a passionate blend of homespun dub music by way of Papunya in the Northern Territory, and Wergaia/Wemba Wemba indie-songwriter Alice Skye will bring her unique form of confessional bedroom rock to the Art Gallery.

Also, the premiere of a new music composition by Bundjalung/Lama Lama singer-songwriter Kev Carmody will be played at various locations in Naala Badu throughout the night. The song 'CarnavonGirraweenBunyas' will take listeners on an immersive 30-minute journey through Country, led by one of our greatest living songwriters.

Volume presents: Lightning song coincides with NAIDOC Week and the Art Gallery's landmark exhibitionYolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala.
