Reef to Outback's music ministry has many different faces. Here is a look into each of the ministries we have running at the moment

School of Music and Missions - (SOMM) is a 5 Month intensive journey into God’s heart; His heart for you, how you were made and how you can use your gifting, but more overwhelmingly how He can use you to be a light and a voice for those who live in darkness.
Focusing on the heart as much as refining your music, the SOMM is about learning to write, perform and take a message of hope and action to a hurting world that needs both challenge and the comfort and hope of a Gospel that begs to be preached.

A Voice in the Dark - Bringing awareness of injustice and challenging people to take a stand. A Voice in the Dark is an initiative of YWAM- Reef to Outback . This ministry uses Music and videos as a tool to bring an awareness of the issues of injustices from around the world. There is hope for the world and for the individuals who are suffering . . . but hope requires action . . . and action means calling young people into missions.

Elior - Our newest School of Music and Missions band, comprised of 5 musicians from 4 different nations all desiring to use music for something greater than themselves. They are songwriters and musicians, creative and quirky, intense and passionate. Their hope is that their music would invite you into the adventure that has swept them away. May you be encouraged and motivated to make a difference in your own world as these musicians are striving to do
Having spent a few weeks in Thailand, they are now touring the coast of Australia spreading a message of hope for the lost and encouraging young Aussies step out and do something for their hurting world.


Five Star Streets - This Townsville based Indie band is composed of staff here at Reef to Outback. Their Music has energetic and unique drumming, driving bass guitar, melodic electric guitar – driven and delayed, and a swell of orchestral arrangements providing a platform from which passionate, poetic and socially aware lyrics soar on melodies – both gentle and intense. The aim of their upcoming album "Let Justice Sing " is to bring positive change to issues of trafficking, injustice and slavery that are currently happening in frequency all over the world. They will be touring North America in September of this year. Their show is one not to be missed!

Jessica Murray- Full of passion and beauty, original compositions by Jessica Murray are marked by catchy melodies, thought provoking lyrics and piano driven arrangements. Her lyrics and melodies capture a wide breadth of social awareness coupled with a personal vulnerability that makes the problems facing the world’s most destitute and abused, ours to solve together. It is this combination of beauty and pain, hope and heartache, empathy and vulnerability that make the music of Jessica something not only to be listened to, but something to which listeners can respond.
