LIVE MUSIC MONTH Spotlight on Leroy Johnson
Leroy Johnson is a Barkindji/Malyangaapa man with strong connections to the lower Baaka (Darling) communities in far western NSW. Leroy is the first Aboriginal Park Manager of Mutawintji National Park, a place which provides much of the inspiration for his music. The Waterbag Band join Leroy on double bass, mandolin, didgeridoo and harmonies for a soulful, country, toe-tappin' set, blending traditional music, with ancient and contemporary stories.
Leroy released this solo EP last year:
