Listen up music lovers! This week’s episode of The Sound is killer… who’s ready for a party? Grab your dancing shoes and get ready: Ep 3 airs Sunday 21 November at 5.30pmon ABC TV or ABC iview.

Our special guest host this week is Indigenous elder, actor, author, musician, and activist Uncle Jack Charles, a proud Boon Wurrung, Dja Dja Wurrung, Woiwurrung and Yorta Yorta man who established Melbourne’s first Indigenous theatre group back in 1971 and whose screen credits include classics such as The Chant Of Jimmy Blacksmith, Blackfellas, Pan, TV’s Mystery Road, Wolf Creek and more. In 2019 Uncle Jack released his memoir Born Again Blakfella.

The entirety of Baker Boy’s (aka Danzal Baker) art – from his infectious flow to his modern-throwback production to the jaw-dropping dance moves perfected as part of the Djuki Mala troupe – connects instantly. His blistering debut album Gela was released in October to huge acclaim, he just won ‘Film Clip of the Year at the NIMAs’, and he’s earned over 48 million streams to date. With two amazing performances in this Ep, 2019’s ‘Young Australian of the Year’ and 6 x ARIA nominee, Baker Boy is going to blow the roof off The Sound!

‘I’m stoked to be back performing for Season 3 of The Sound, it feels really special to bring “Headphones” to life with Lara Andallo for the first time since releasing Gela last month’ – Baker Boy

One of our most celebrated and loved entertainers, multiple ARIA winner, coach on “The Voice” and proud Kuku Yalanji and Wakaman woman Jessica Mauboy recently dropped her brand new single, ‘Glow’ – the first track since her 2019 #1 album Hilda. A reintroduction of sorts of to the best-selling, R&B-pop artist, it’s also a shimmering declaration that she’s through playing it safe. The track captures memories of watching her mum dance around the kitchen to Donna Summer, Diana Ross, and Cher… Watch Jess perform the track live on The Sound this Sunday!

‘I admire The Sound and feel incredibly proud to be a part of a music space that is lifting Australian music and sharing it all across this country, it’s what we all have been waiting for and need right now. So let’s glow you mob!” – Jessica Mauboy

In this world, nothing is certain except taxes, death and Confidence Man. Not even a global pandemic could stop members Janet, Sugar, Reggie and Clarence from fashioning a 12-track album so fierce, flirty and full of anthems that you might need to sit down before you hit play. Confidence Man have amassed over 43 million streams and played at some of the biggest festivals in the world. Performing their new single ‘Holiday’ on this week’s Ep, it’s the first taste of the band’s upcoming album TILT released Friday 1 April.

Born in London and raised in Melbourne, Thomas Headon sure knows how to build an incredibly loyal fanbase and community. Blowing up on TikTok with 14.7M likes and 400K+ followers to date plus 100k+ on Instagram, the 21-year-old playful alternative pop act has been embraced by fans and critics alike worldwide. Performing new single ‘Nobody Has To Know’ live on the show this week with our clip filmed in the UK, where he’s currently on a 17-date tour – Headon’s forthcoming EP, Victoria, is released 11 March 2022.

HOLY HOLY

‘I always loved watching the musical performances on American late-night TV shows but we haven’t really had something like that for Australian audiences and featuring Australian artists. The Sound steps into that gap and it’s exciting to be a part of it. We were especially thrilled to get to collab with our pals Tia and Hayley on this classic song from the homegrown supergroup Empire of the Sun. Dreamy.’ – Timothy Carroll, Holy Holy

.

HAYLEY MARY

‘So excited to be singing on The Sound. It really got us through the pandemic and I’m glad to see it live on with the spirit of MG [Michael Gudinski]. I’m particularly excited about the tune we are signing as it’s a bloody banger and an example of some of Australia’s finest songwriting.’ – Hayley Mary

TIA GOSTELOW

‘Super excited to be on The Sound … Awesome that there is a platform to show Australian music in homes again.’ – Tia Gostelow
