Charlie Woods is a proud GuriNgai woman and is no stranger to Australia’s thriving live music scene, her talents as a trumpeter are widely known, from sharing stages with the likes of The Teskey Brothers, Gang of Youths, The Seven Ups, and TEK TEK Ensemble which have taken her across the globe.

Charlie Needs Braces is a solo project featuring live looping and original compositions inspired by her new braces and learning about her family’s Aboriginal heritage.

She says, “I wanted to use language as inspiration. A lot of the words have deeper meanings and have stories themselves – particularly the names of places.”

Charlie relates her music to community and connection through all that she puts out into the world. A recent film clip was filmed on a “sacred area called, Karyung (meaning meeting place)” and included her sister, mother and grandmother.
