Ngaiire, the former Australian Idol competitor and renowned singer-songwriter behind hit albums Lamentations and Blastoma, will take to the Riverside Theatres stage in Parramatta this weekend to perform a one-night-only concert.
The Papua New Guinea-born singer has stormed it with soaring sets at festivals worldwide, from Glastonbury to Splendour in the Grass. She’s also warmed up for the likes of Alicia Keys, John Legend, Sufjan Stevens and Leon Bridges.
Now you can soak up her R’n’B and future soul grooves from the comfort of your own sofa this Make Music Day on Sunday, June 21 at 5pm. The recipient of four National Live Music Awards and the inaugural Australian Women in Music Award for Artistic Excellence, Ngaiire is one act you don’t want to miss.
Captured by a slick multi-camera set-up, it’s going to be a gig to remember, with Western Sydney songwriter/producer Clarissa Mei as the support act. Even better, the Riverside model is pay what you think, so while you can watch for free, if you’re in a position to help out the artist, the venue and the crew, you can.
