‘…Putting together a weekly music show of this calibre, during a pandemic era, when live music, media, production, hospitality, travel and other associated industries are operating under stringent lockdowns, stops just short of a modern miracle.’ – Musicfeeds

‘I’m so blessed to be on The Sound this weekend. To be able to perform with my band for you mob is such an honour and to be able to sing ‘Butterfly’ in the State Theatre was just incredible. To be able to connect with everyone through the language of music with all that’s going on in our country, I’m so grateful.’ – Jessica Mauboy
