SATURDAY 17 SEPTEMBER
One of Cairns’ most loved musical exports, singer songwriter
Emma Louise, is returning home to share songs from her new
album, Supercry.
Join Kim Prentice at a workshop in the Botanic Gardens Visitor
Centre from 9.30am - 3.00pm.
A stunning debut EP, Full Hearts and
Empty Rooms (2011), announced Emma
Louise on the national stage as a rare
kind of talent, one who creates songs
with a resonance far beyond the instant
sugar hit of so much pop music. Once
you hear tunes as intensely evocative as
Illuminate, from the new album, or Jungle
from Full Hearts, you don’t forget them.
Writing songs is as natural as breathing
to Emma Louise, and right from the start
as a schoolgirl in Cairns it was the
quality of those songs that seemed to
make her path into a musical career
inevitable. If you know Emma’s music,
you will understand the emotional
storms her songs evoke and on Supercry
she stays true to her practice and holds
nothing back; all the aches and desires
of a gifted songwriter moving into
adulthood are laid bare.
This event, a partnership between the
Friends of the Botanic Gardens and
Saltwater Creek Basketry group, is
funded by RADF – the Regional Arts
Development Fund.
The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership
between the Queensland Government and Cairns Regional
