Biography
Roger Knox was raised on the Toomelah Aboriginal Mission Station on the bend of the Macintyre River. Charlie Duncan taught him how to play guitar at an early age and Roger also loved to sing with his mother and grandmother in the church choir. Although Gospel music was his first love, once he found his way to Tamworth in his late teens Roger’s passion for Country music grew and he began to invest it with his own Aboriginal style.
Now in 2025, as a seasoned entertainer and story teller, he tours nationally and internationally, performing in mainstream and across First Nation communities. By recognising the importance of music and song within Aboriginal culture, Uncle Roger uses it to bring people together for healing and self-awareness. He uses his voice to uplift people’s spirits, bringing more joy and laughter into their lives. With a kind and generous spirit he is a well loved and inspiring role model.
Toby Martin is a musician and songwriter. He is perhaps best known for his role as the lead singer of much-loved Sydney/Gadigal rock band Youth Group, with whom he has released five studio albums, toured the world, won an ARIA, and had a Number One single in 2006 with ‘Forever Young’. The band’s most recent album, 2019’s Australian Halloween was feature album on Double J and named by the station as one of its top records of the year. Toby has also released two solo albums, the most recent of which, Songs From Northam Avenue (2017), was inspired by stories from the Sydney suburb of Bankstown and featured musicians based in Western Sydney from a diverse range of backgrounds. His solo record, I Felt The Valley Lifting, with Sydney label Ivy League, was written while living in the small northern English village of Slaithwaite and is a collaboration with local folk, rock and Persian musicians from that region.
