Milstreem
“Indigenous singer/songwriter Carl Stewart has had a diverse and unique life journey, with great challenges and great joys along the way. His music is a reflection of this journey and has been a pathway to healing, expression and the sharing of stories. In 2009, after years of writing songs in his living room and playing to the occasional backyard BBQ audience Carl formed the ‘Carl Stewart Band’. The songs are original, raw and sometimes gritty, reflecting personal life experiences of love, heartache and triumph, to world views and his indigenous heritage. The music is a mixture of Acoustic strings, backed by Electric guitar, ranging from clean melodies to heavy riffs. It’s roots with a touch of blues and rock, which creates a melodic blending of sounds that intertwine perfectly with powerful and raw lyrics, drawing its listeners in to create a reflecting experience.”
