Emma Donovan presents her acclaimed album Take Me to the River at the historic Bowraville Theatre in a special launch event close to Country on 9 May 2026 from 7pm to 10pm. The performance reimagines timeless soul songs by artists like Al Green, Aretha Franklin, and Ann Peebles through Donovan's Indigenous heritage and extraordinary voice, creating a gathering focused on inheritance, memory, and truth-telling. Special guest Maanyung, a Gumbaynggirr and Yaegl artist, provides soulful, story-driven support grounded in culture and language. This intimate concert, part of Great Southern Nights 2026, offers warmth, reverence, and soaring vocals in a profoundly personal setting.
