ACCLAIMED Kokatha/Gunditjmara singer-songwriter David Arden brings his deeply personal and political stage show MEERTA – Rise Up! The Ballad of James Arden to Riverlinks Westside on Saturday, August 9.
The performance traces the story of Arden’s great-grandfather James Arden — a Gunditjmara activist who stood up for his people in 1916 — blending themes of identity, cultural strength and resistance through original music and storytelling.
Described as “one of the finest guitarists in Australia” by the late Uncle Archie Roach, Arden leads a stellar ensemble of musicians in this moving tribute to family, culture and Country.
Tickets are $32–$45 and available online, in person or by calling the Riverlinks Box Office on 03 5832 9511.
