A beautiful night of soulful music featuring acclaimed Noongar artist Bumpy
Proud Noongar artist Bumpy is a radiant force in Australian soul. Fusing jazz, funk, folk and R&B, her hypnotic performances and soulful voice create a “vibrant sonic journey” (The Music).
She’s played WOMADelaide, Meredith, London Jazz Festival and the Sydney Opera House, sharing stages with legends from Herbie Hancock to Hiatus Kaiyote.
Now it’s Bondi’s turn to bask in the glow of Bumpy’s debut album Kanana — meaning “land where the sun sets” — and its soul-filled celebration of connection and unity.
“Bumpy’s voice is a force – vulnerable, powerful, unforgettable.” Double J
Supported by Ruby Jackson
Fuelled by 2000s R&B Pop nostalgia, Sydney-based songwriter, producer and performer Ruby Jackson has positioned herself at the heart of the Australian R&B scene. Her timeless 5-track EP Sweater For Me is full of wonderful stories delivered with a full, beautiful heart.
