Martin Luther once said that “My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.”
It’s in this spirit that saw a group of budding Yeppoon musicians and songwriters come together for a series of workshops, culminating in the release of the album
No Covers: Original Music by Resilient People.
The workshops were facilitated by local musician and music teacher Narelle Schirmer as a way to help participants overcome challenges such as depression, domestic and family violence, physical disability and mental health issues.
