Music is a family affair for Bunna Lawrie and his children

Bunna Lawrie is a proud Mirning Elder from the Nullarbor and founding member of Coloured Stone, carving a path as a groundbreaking First Nations band with their rock and reggae influenced sound. Bunna's 1984 hit song 'Black Boy', which remains an anthem for First Nations people to this day, launched a highly influential career which has taken them all over the country and the world.

Coloured Stone was always a family affair and it is no wonder Bunna's children are also multi-talented musicians and artists forging careers in the music industry. They work across a range of genres including rock, country, music for theatre, folk and soul. Together, these artists bring a rich and varied tapestry of cultural heritage to life.

Join us for an evening of music and conversation that celebrates family, identity, community, and the transformative power of music.
