Raised in Big Spirit Country

Presented by Black Swan State Theatre Company & Pigram Productions, in association with Goolarri Media

A POWERFUL CELEBRATION OF STORY, SONG, SPIRIT AND THE BROOME SOUND.

Naomi Pigram-Mitchell leads a stellar cast of Broome's finest musicians, vocalists and performers in a concert that pays homage to the legendary artists who came before and amplifies the voices shaping the future.

Naomi was born amongst the artistic giants who created the 'Broome sound' – they were loud, they were proud, and they were masters of their craft. Now, she stands at the crossroads of Broome's vital history, her own music and the next generation of performers.

Following a sell-out Perth season in 2025, Raised in Big Spirit Country is heading home to Broome in September 2026.

Produced by Pigram Productions and Black Swan, this joyous event celebrates the enduring spirit of Big Spirit Country through the collective power of Broome's artists – a powerful fusion of culture, connection and song.
