Out On The Lawn First Nations: Kee’ahn + Yirghilya + Broden Tyrrell

Join us for a captivating evening celebrating First Nations music with each artist weaving tales of resilience, heritage and hope through their music.

Headlined by Kee’ahn

Kee’ahn is a First Nations musician from North Queensland, now based in the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne), whose name derives from the Wik word meaning to dance, and to play. Effortlessly blending the sounds of soul, R&B and pop throughout their music, Kee'ahn weaves lush melodies and words reminiscent of heartbreak and healing. Their rich vocals and hopeful yet vulnerable lyrics champion finding strength in our struggles, encouraging us all to reflect, reinvent, and rejoice in all of our own journeys. Kee’ahn honours their name and Ancestors through their soulful music.
