Country, blues and story carried across generations

Celebrate an extraordinary night of music, culture and storytelling with three generations of Gamilaraay men from the Knox family. Led by Roger Knox, the Koori King of Country, they share songs and stories, carrying forward a rich family legacy.  

Moderated by Brad Cooke

For more than 50 years, Roger Knox, has travelled the country connecting communities through music and celebrating Aboriginal culture, history and resilience. His son Buddy Knox began performing with his father at 15, after picking up the guitar at just eight. Touring nationally with Roger’s Euraba Band and the iconic Warumpi Band, Buddy has become a highly respected Blues artist, known for his expressive guitar playing, soulful voice and commitment to mentoring young artists. 

 The next generation continues the legacy. Teangi performs with Buddy’s Blues Band and, together with Googoorewon, appeared in Big Name, No Blankets, with Googoorewon also featuring in major musical theatre productions including Hamilton and RENT

Together, the Knox family share songs and stories passed down through three generations creating a heartfelt and unforgettable performance. 

Presented by Sydney Opera House
