Grammy Award winning Lucky Oceans and award winning writer and musician David Milroy will take you into the Zone with their freewheeling versions of David’s songs about love, culture and country, Lucky’s songs about AI, astral travel, and the universe - and songs by the musicians that inspired them along the way.

David Milroy is one of the key figures of WA's Indigenous Art Renaissance, having been Artistic Director of Yirra Yaakin Theatre and a writer of award-winning plays, including 'Windmill Baby' and 'Waltzing the Wilarra.' Perth Festival presented his 'Panawathi Girl' at His Majesty's Theatre in 2022, where it garnered 5 star reviews and won Best New Work' in the WA Performing Arts Awards of 2023.

Many of David's beautifully crafted songs are plucked from his plays and he has been a gifted and prolific writer of songs since he became a professional musician in the 70s. Like his plays, his songs take an honest, generous and humorous view of the human condition from his unique viewpoint.

Lucky is a Grammy-Award winning steel guitarist who has played with Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Paul Kelly and Hank Marvin. Lucky was the host of ABC RN's beloved Radio show The Daily Planet for 21 years. His songs shine with the experience of a lifetime in music while they muse on birth, death, AI, ecology and poetry. He plays many styles of music and has been called 'the most influential steel guitarist of his generation'.
