A gig for cool kids and their groovy guardians by Charlie Needs Braces at Kew Court House.

Charlie Needs Braces is the solo project of Charlie Woods, a musician and proud GuriNgai woman of the Garigal clan and Wannangine Nation. She’s created a show at Kew Court House guaranteed to be the hot ticket of the school holidays.

No stranger to Australia’s interconnected music scene, Charlie’s talents as a trumpet player are tapped by The Teskey Brothers, Gang of Youths, The Seven Ups, WVR BVBY and TEK TEK Ensemble, collaborations that have allowed her to perform around the world.

Charlie Needs Braces is an outlet for Woods’ personal and cultural stories, which she hopes will connect audiences to the land and each other. The lyrics are inspired by her mob on the Central Coast, the GuriNgai people, and celebrates her culture, Country, and ancient stories.

Her sound features live looping using brass, vocals and percussion compositions.

Charlie Needs Braces at Kew Court House is most suitable for ages 2 to 12 years and their groovy guardians. The show is interactive and uses music and dance as a tool for learning and having fun in a concert setting. General admission seating and all tickets are at kids' prices.
