Your feature album this week on 2SER is Crossroads by Stiff Gins, a beautiful blend of folk, roots, and First Nations language and culture with newfound depths of lyrical storytelling, intricate harmony and rich layers of instrumentation.

For over 25 years, Stiff Gins have served as cultural custodians of the Australian musical environment. Their latest work invites audiences of the past into the present, merges tradition with innovation and seeks to sing a future overflowing with strength and grace.

Stiff Gins are Yuwaalaraay woman Nardi Simpson and Wiradjuri/Yorta Yorta woman Kaleena Briggs. 2SER Breakfast was honoured to welcome Kaleena to the studio to discuss the new album and the storied career as Matriarchal pioneers in the Australian Blak music scene.
