The fourth annual Aboriginal Cultural Showcase will include a week-long program of Aboriginal music and culture and be held during the Tamworth Country Music Festival. The Aboriginal Cultural Showcase provides unique opportunities for exposure and performance development to Aboriginal musicians with musicians will be able to perform on a number of stages.

The schedule at the main venue will include free daily Showcases and master classes, and ticketed evening shows. The week will finish with a flourish at the Showcase Finale which exposes the talent of the best performers of the week alongside some of Australia’s most iconic Aboriginal musicians.

The daily Showcase walk-up slots are available to anyone of any level of talent and provide the opportunity to perform on stage with a professional backing band. Performers can hone their skills in a series of free master classes held throughout the week and for the first time this year, there will be additional opportunities for emerging musicians to record their music
