show at the QUT Gardens Theatre for Brisbane\u2019s Black History Month, From Rations to Wages to Treaty, bringing together a career spanning 45 years. It has since met with much acclaim from audiences at the Brisbane Powerhouse, BEMAC, Tanks Art Centre, Cairns, Palm Island, Horizon Festival (Sunshine Coast) and Redlands Performing Arts Centre. The songs showcased in this new undertaking are Geia\u2019s that tell of significant times of change in this country.\u00a0 Joe Geia\u2019s history and career is inextricably linked to the events told through song in this show. The performance includes his songs with long time six piece band backing Geia, with visual backdrop for each song and storytelling of the people honoured in his songs..\u00a0 The audience was visibly moved and many commented that they had learnt so much about black history. The shows finished with rousing encores. He now plans to tour this important \u201ctruth-telling\u201d show nationally celebrating 4 decades in music and launching the &#8220;soundtrack&#8221; of RWT on double vinyl.<\/p><p>Geia uses his songs from Rations to Wages to Treaty through his Songline to show that by using the same model of how we have always used the Arts to communicate amongst different tribal and language groups using song, dance, and art (Our Opera, n.d.) to welcome, to give directions both geographical and moral: To tell family stories and histories infused with values of love and care that have been passed down over thousands of generations. \u2013 and demonstrates that the messages contained in his Songline are still a potent way to reach the hearts and minds of those who are open to the listening<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b5ee09 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con
