23.01.2022 What are you doing today?....Nothing?.... Good! @chickensalt_____ is performing in the city this upcoming Monday from 12pm - 1:30pm at Garema Place as part of the City Renewal Authority's new Lunchbox Acoustic program. Dont know how to get there? Meet at Belconnnen Youth Centre by 11.30am so we can catch a bus together into the city. Bus tickets are avaliable if needed. Chicken Salt is a 14 piece horn-led funk cover band. What started as an excuse to hang out with old high school friends has quickly developed into a seriously funky group of young musicians with incredible chops. Their repertoire consists of Stevie Wonder, Vulfpeck, Lawrence and more, as well as a couple of Christmas songs recently put together.

02.01.2022 On International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we wanted to explore what preserving, respecting, and celebrating indigenous culture means to those who ...live and breathe it every day. In a two-part video series, Emma and Ronnie will take a deep dive into each other's lives, and through honest conversations and celebrations of song and movement, we find what connects a Darug woman in Australia to an Ambai man from Papua is their culture - the very essence of what makes them who they are. #TheCRCSFamily #IDWIP2020
