Hey you mob!👋 Tune in to The Show at 1pm with Bala Matty.😃

You will get to hear some deadly songs from Bilby Brave . 🤩Bilby Brave is an emerging indie-folk project based on Gimuy Country, led by a young songwriter whose work has been quietly taking shape over years of reflection, creativity, and lived experience. Drawing from a deep well of personal moments—both challenging and uplifting—her songs weave together introspective lyrics and evocative melodies with a strong sense of storytelling.Blending organic and atmospheric textures, Bilby Brave’s sound sits at the intersection of indie-folk and soul. Acoustic instrumentation, violin, and rich vocal harmonies are complemented by subtle synth layers, creating a sonic landscape that feels both grounded and contemporary. Influenced by artists such as Julia Jacklin, Bedouine, Alela Diane, and Lianne La Havas, the project embraces emotional nuance and understated power.Her music explores themes of nostalgia, gratitude, heartbreak, love, and the search for meaning, alongside a deep reverence for the natural world. Some songs are intimately personal, while others reach outward—reflecting on the human connection to place and environment.Bilby Brave will be releasing a series of new singles over the coming months. Listeners are invited to follow along on Spotify and social media to stay connected as the project continues to unfold.You can check out her socials on www.artistlink.xyz/bilbybraveComing to you via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service only on BBM 98.7FM!
