A unique and rare collaboration between two powerhouses of Australian music, in one of Melbourne’s most beautiful and intimate theatres, Forum II. 

The power and beauty of Uncle Kutcha's voice and songs, united with the sonic intensity of Cash Savage and The Last Drinks. Performing together as one, for one night only.

Kutcha Edwards, Mutti Mutti, Yorta Yorta, Nari Nari Songman has been prolifically combining songwriting and activism since he began making music in the 90’s. As one of Australia’s most respected Indigenous singer/songwriters, Kutcha’s music and community work has earned him iconic status amongst both Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians. 

For this special performance he will be joined onstage for his songs to be re-interpreted by Naarm/Melbourne heavyweights Cash Savage & The Last Drinks, who’s legendary live shows are an overwhelming flood of emotion and sound. Each performance by this band is as epic as it is honest, raw and human. A cathartic, communal experience that refuses to give the audience an easy ethical bypass, but challenges listeners to ask themselves the hard questions and step up. 

Kutcha Edwards: “At first I was apprehensive. How was an alternative post punk rock band going to interpret my Songline? When I got on stage it was one of those unique moments where it all just happened. The band locked in on me. They interpreted the message of my Songline differently. The rawness was different and I was challenged but I was comfortable. It was exciting. It freed my spirit. I was able to connect and find the space to travel to my Dreaming and share my songs and stories in a new way. The moment was freeing. There was a collective freeness of spirit. We were all in sync. I felt it, everyone on stage felt it, the whole room filled with it.”

Cash Savage : “It is such a privilege to be let into that space, to be able to be a part of Uncle's storytelling. Everyone in that room understood how special and how lucky we all were to be part of the experience. I’ve played a lot of shows but performing with Uncle Kutcha felt really different - it was transcendent. It stands as an outlier to any other show we have performed in our lives”
