About this concert
Liz Stringer is one of Australia?s most admired and versatile songwriters and instrumentalists. With a career spanning eight studio albums and a slew of honours including Port Fairy Folk Festival's 2023 Artist of the Year and the Woodford Folk Festival 'Emerging Legend of Australian Song' in 2020, she is a venerated guitarist and vocalist, her notoriously powerful live performances and melodically rich, story-based songs earning her a unique place among the most important Australian songwriters of the modern era.
In Summer 2023, Liz worked with Grammy nominated/Ivor Novello Award winning producer/engineer Beni Giles at Iguana Studios in Brixton, London, to complete her most accomplished offering yet. The Second High sees her branch into a wider range of her musical influences, using jazz, soul and funk as a canvas on which to squarely centre songs which draw on themes of self-actualisation, social inequity and the dogged pursuit of truth and authenticity.
She counts seminal artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Midnight Oil (with whom she toured the world as backing vocalist and occasional instrumentalist between 2020 and 2022) as fans, Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil) describing her musicality as 'a total joy'. Beloved equally for her rock stylings, knee-buckling ballads and a world-class lyrical and story-telling prowess that sees her write affectingly from a staggering range of perspectives, Liz Stringer is carving a fiercely autonomous creative path while maintaining a deep sense of connection with her devoted and ever-growing audience.
