About the artist
Bringing the sounds and spirit of the islands all the way from Vanuatu, the Roysen Local String Band delivers a vibrant blend of traditional island rhythms, feel-good melodies and infectious beats.
With guitars, ukuleles and a homemade string bush bass driving their distinctive sound, the band celebrates the heart of Vanuatu’s culture — its people, its music and the values of love, unity and respect.
Featuring a core band of six, joined by a few friends along for the ride, Roysen Local String Band brings an upbeat, feel-good sound that captures the warmth and energy of island life.
Making their first public appearance in Australia, they invite festival-goers to experience something special — authentic island music, laid-back grooves and rhythms that will have you tapping your feet and moving to the beat.
