Meet the five emerging Queensland artists and music industry practitioners set to take on BIGSOUND 2019, thanks to QMusic’s donor community, The Saints.
Empowering girls, trans and gender non-conforming youth aged 10-17 through a week-long mentorship program, Girls Rock! Brisbane encourages creativity, self-expression and teamwork through music.
Under the guidance of some of Australia’s finest female musicians, you’ll form a band, learn an instrument and perform at rock show! No experience necessary, instruments provided.
The week-long day camp will be held at Backbone in East Brisbane, 23 - 28 September.
