Marlene Cummins Band, VIC

Marlene knows the blues from an Aboriginal woman's perspective. Her story is one of vulnerability, strength and survival. A biographical journey that encompasses a tapestry of political, social, and personal experiences, beautifully woven into her lyrics and songs.

Blending original compositions and traditional blues numbers, the standout evocative blues anthem titled "Koori Woman," is a heartfelt tribute dedicated to Aboriginal women worldwide, whom Marlene considers the backbone of the struggle.
