Warrior in Chains

Roger Knox is a Gamilaroi man who was born at Moree, north-west NSW, and grew up at Toomelah mission near Boggabilla on the NSW-QLD border. Roger started his musical career as a gospel singer and in the early 1980s defied the odds surviving not one but two plane crashes, suffering burns to most of his body. With his band, Euraba, he has dedicated his life to sharing music, spending much of his time playing to neglected Aboriginal audiences in remote communities and prisons, as well as touring detention centres and Indian reservations in the US and Canada.
