Charlie Needs Braces

GuriNgai sisters Charlie and Miri from Live Looping act Charlie Needs Braces have drawn in audiences across Australia, their energetic musical landscapes weaving together stories and language. In 2022 they came first place in the Upstart Awards, and won the Archie Roach Award for Emerging Talent in 2023 through Music Victoria Awards.

The project is a dynamic two-piece band performing with live looping, sample pads, and trumpet. The show invites audiences to actively participate through movement and call-and-response, creating an engaging and inclusive experience for children, families, and all-ages festival crowds.
