We're revisiting Newcastle's First Storytellers for NAIDOC week.

This podcast series explores how Newcastle’s Aboriginal communities share and tell stories. Australia has the world’s oldest oral story telling culture and Newcastle has a rich collection of storytellers. 

Jake Ridgeway is a young indigenous singer, songwriter, performer based in Newcastle. Jacob weaves genuine storylines with sweet woven R&B/Rock grooves and soul drenched vocals into a warm melody grounded by his Worimi and Kamilaroi roots. The musical inspirations Jacob draw on include Troy Cassar-Daley, Justin Timberlake, Sam Hunt and Silverchair amongst others. 

This is a Newcastle Libraries REAL Production.
