For proud Darumbal and Wulli-Wulli man Garret Lyon, singing and connecting with his audience has been integral to his existence since he was a small child when he would sing show tunes to his family.

But just when he thought his talents were all coming to fruition, it was cruelly turned around in a way he didn’t expect.

However on reflection, he’s realised now that experience was a gift, and that what we sometimes see as failure, can be turned into success.

Garret has taken his singing from the bush where he grew up in Rockhampton in central Queensland, to all over Australia, performing and teaching the next generation of First Nations talent wherever he goes.

And as he tells us on Streets of Your Town from the dressing rooms of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre before another performance, he’s now come full circle, returning to performing the musicals that he first fell in love with.
