He pulled the SUV over, and a woman in the backseat said, “I’m having a baby.” Sergeant Glatfelter replied, “Yes, you are.” He got his medical kit and gloves, both for himself and the woman’s husband. Sergeant Glatfelter said, “I told him, ‘We’re having this baby right here.” Sergeant Glatfelter also called EMS and talked to the dispatcher. He said, “I don’t even remember everything they asked me.” He and the husband got ready for the arrival of the baby.

  • Hop, Skip and Jump: Indigenous Australian Women Performing Within and Against Aboriginalism
    JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ONLINE MusicA JOURNAL OF THE MUSIC COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA Hop, Skip and Jump: Indigenous Australian Women Performing Within and Against Aboriginalism Introduction KATELYN BARNEY was in The University of Queensland library talking to one of the librarians, James, about my PhD research. He asked, ‘So, what are you researching again?’ and I replied, ‘Well, I’m working with Indigenous Australian1 women ■ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Iwho perform contemporary music, you know, popular music singers’. James Islander Studies Unit looked confused, ‘Oh, so are you going to interview that guy from the band The University of Queensland 2 Yothu Yindi ?’ This was not the first time I had been asked this and inwardly I Brisbane sighed and replied, ‘No, I’m just focusing my research on Indigenous Australian QLD 4072 women’. Streit-Warburton’s words immediately reverberated in my mind: ‘Ask Australia an Australian to name an Aboriginal singer and there is a fair chance that the answer will be Yothu Yindi’s Mandawuy Yunupingu. Ask again for the name of an Aboriginal woman singer and there is an overwhelming chance that the answer will be Deafening Silence. Deafening Silence is not the name of a singer; it is the pervasive response to most questions about Aboriginal women.’ (1993: 86). As Email: [email protected] I looked at James, I wondered if anything had really changed in more than 10 years. The account above highlights how Indigenous Australian women performers continue to be silenced in discussions and discourses about Indigenous Australian 3 www.jmro.org.au performance.

  • Media Kit Emma Donovan & the Putbacks
    MEDIA KIT EMMA DONOVAN & THE PUTBACKS CHEVRON LIGHTHOUSE SUN 9 FEB TICKETS: $39 Click here for images EMMA DONOVAN AND THE PUTBACKS Acclaimed Indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan and Melbourne rhythm combo The Putbacks burst on to the Australian scene with their album Dawn in 2015, announcing a new voice in Australian soul music. Emma’s songwriting is optimistic, impassioned, and bruisingly honest, The Putbacks’ music is fluid, live and raw, and the collaboration has won friends and admirers all over the world. The project was born of Emma and the band’s shared love for classic US soul and the protest music of Indigenous Australia. Shades of every soul record you ever liked sneak through: Al Green’s Hi Recordsera? Check. Aretha’s Classic Atlantic recordings? Check. Stacks of Stax? Check. It’s all there, but there’s also a whole lot of Coloured Stone and Warumpi Band influences giving this project a uniquely Australian slant. Emma grew up singing church songs with her grandparents on the North coast of New South Wales and her first secular gigs were singing in the family band, The Donovans, with her mother and five uncles. Throughout her career, she has toured and recorded with many of the mainstays of Indigenous music from Archie Roach to Dan Sultan and was a leader of the Black Arm Band project. It was in The Black Arm Band that Emma met members of The Putbacks and their journey together began. The Putbacks are stone cold pros, grizzled veterans of all the tours and all the studios. As individuals, they’re the players behind so many bands it’s difficult to list, but let’s start with Hiatus Kaiyote, The Bombay Royale, D.D Dumbo, Swooping Duck and The Meltdown.
