Join North East Arnhem Land’s Yirrmal on a musical journey of joy, sadness and freedom. His voice will break your heart and his spirit will put it back together.
Best known to mainstream audiences as the vocalist behind the hooks on Baker Boy’s breakthrough single ‘Marryuna’ and 2021 standout ‘Ride’, Yirrmal is a rising star in his own right and no stranger to Darwin audiences. An extraordinarily passionate storyteller, incredibly gifted singer-songwriter and captivating entertainer, Yirrmal creates powerful and uplifting music that touches the soul. With his stunning voice he weaves in his connection to family and country in everything from ballads to upbeat tracks to get you dancing. This is music to make you feel good.
In 2020, Yirrmal recorded a collection of bold and celebratory works produced by Andrew Farriss in 2020 at Andrew’s Piedmont Studio. He has already released a number of singles from the upcoming album including ‘Promised Land ft Dami Im’ and the latest track ‘Love Sweet Love’. Now you can hear these songs and more performed live with a full band in a Festival opening weekend celebration.
