LIVE AT THE LAKE
AH, THE DRY season. The perfect time of the year in the Top End to get outside and enjoy those sweet, sweet weather conditions. Even better if it’s soundtracked by live local music, wouldn’t you say? Cue City of Palmerston’s Live at the Lake series.

These monthly music events invite you to settle in by the water’s side, alternating at various locations each edition, as you take in the sights and sounds of some of the Top End’s finest musos.
This month, Emma Rowe and Jennie Attrill hit up Flinders Park in Durack to bring their original tunes to the ears of relaxed vibe seekers.
Born and bred Darwinite Emma Rowe offers quirky contemporary songs that combine hope, frustration, and joy. At an Emma Rowe gig, you might feel like you’re hanging out with an old mate, her indie/pop/rock tunes surprisingly complicated but wholly relatable.

Rowe says the opportunity to play at Live at the Lake is a good one for local musos, with the opportunity to tap into new audiences.
“I think it’s a great way to connect with the wider community, especially going out Palmerston way, because we often play in or around the city. It’s nice to actually go out there and connect, ‘cause they’re not always coming into the city,” she says.
“I think it’s great that there’s an event like that out there. I’ve played it before, in 2018, I think, and it’s just such a lovely space, lovely people, it’s just all ‘round lovely!”
Singer-songwriter Jennie Attrill is sure to charm as she delivers blues, folk, and country tunes that are soulful, honest, and raw. With these two powerhouses in the mix, nestled in the green surroundings of Flinders Park, it’s one sure fire way to make the most of this darn delightful weather. Plus, there’s face-painting and entertainment for the kids, plus food trucks on standby, to really elevate your Dry season experience. Get amongst it.
