The band consists of brothers Billy-Jo Shoveller and Francis Shoveller, sister Petha Shoveller their father Frankie, Jordan Wright and Bohdan Prachr. Together, they create a powerful musical tapestry that weaves together the stories of their culture and the enchanting landscapes of their saltwater and freshwater homelands.

They have graced stages at major events such as State of the Art, WA Day, NAIDOC and the opening of Optus Stadium in Perth.
