Featuring Cool Out Sun

Presented by PBS 106.7FM and Darebin FUSE Festival

For fans of the AM and a babycino or two, this one's for you! Hosted at Darebin Arts Centre's Grevillea Room, this special edition of Rock-A-Bye Baby for Darebin FUSE Festival will feature a live performance from Cool Out Sun, bringing the good beats and good vibes.

What is Rock-A-Bye Baby? It's a no-frills daytime concert designed for both adults and kids alike, and is PBS' way of connecting the youngest music lovers to the bands and artists that make up our city's diverse and ever-expanding music community. We welcome noise, encourage crawling, and expect dancing!

Cool Out Sun is a cross-cultural, Melbourne-based music project led by N’fa Jones and Sensible J, with inspirations from traditional Afro folk and Taaso, to Afro-Beat and Hip Hop. Their music lets the spirit move you with cultural connection shared in song!

Coffee, babycinos, tea, hot chocolates and snacks will be available to purchase at the venue.

This event will be AUSLAN interpreted. 

Please note that you must book a ticket for everyone in attendance, both adults and children.
