The Red Ochre Band, which has been established since 1989 came about due to the need of an organisation dealing with under privileged childrens’ need for tutors to teach kids music. The then tutors would stay back and jam amongst themselves and from this the band know as The Red Ochre Band was formed. Since then, the band has performed all over the state at many big festivals with many big named artists such as Troy Cassar Daley, Jimmy Little, Lee Kernaghan and Beccy Cole to name a few.

The Red Ochre Band after 31 years still has three of its original band members and over the years have had the pleasure in sharing the stage with a vast group of other young performers that have grown with the experience of performing with The Red Ochre Band
