Experience an extraordinary night of music and storytelling with country-blues poet Archer and reimagined Australiana duo Broken Creek. Archer’s surreal, moving poetry and songs—woven with tales of the Murray (Dhungala) River, a cheeky sheep named Meryl, and time machines—will come to cinematic life with guest musicians.
This concert invites curiosity about old songs and traditions, blending playfulness with a reverence for the strange and beautiful in our land. Step into the past and hear its echoes in the present.

Step into the world of Archer—a wandering songman with a voice that feels like it’s been unearthed from a long-lost time. With the grit of an old blues poet and the warmth of a campfire storyteller, Archer’s music captures the raw beauty of life on the road, the rivers, and the land.
In this very special concert at Riverlinks Eastbank, you won’t just be a spectator—you’ll be part of the music. Bring your instrument and learn a stunning arrangement of his song “I Went Down to the River”, joining Archer in a performance that promises to be both intimate and unforgettable.

Whether you play woodwinds, brass, strings, or percussion, there’s a place for you in this special performance!
Don’t miss this chance to play, listen, and be immersed in the soulful world of one of Australia’s most unique voices.
