The Redlands Performing Arts Centre (RPAC) is hosting Jessie Lloyd's Mission Songs Project, during which she will take the audience on a musical journey across Australia as near-forgotten songs from the 'missions era' are brought to life.



Jessie Lloyd describes first becoming curious about the songs from Aboriginal reserves, or the mission days, when she heard her Aunties singing. Using humour and truth, Jessie Lloyd says she intends to share the voices of Elders as they would around a warm campfire or kitchen table to present an authentic narrative of Aboriginal Australia.



Reviews provided by RPAC include:'Profoundly moving … the entire collection is sublime' - The Australianand 'Islander rhythms, campfire country and defiant humour celebrate simple joys. Melancholy ballads chart a journey of blood, sweat and tears … you'll almost hear the kettle boil as a closing home recording of the elders invites us to sit down with these unsung survivors.' - 4.5 stars, Fairfax Media
