Acclaimed Australian songwriter Liz Stringer made the move to the UK in early 2024, in pursuit of a new creative life. Venerated in her home country, Liz has twice been nominated for the Australian Music Prize, was premier folk festival Port Fairy’s Artist of the Year in 2023 and named as ‘An Emerging Legend of Australian Song’ by Woodford Folk Festival in 2020.
Liz has carved out a unique place in the Australian industry and a cult-like following due to her staunch independence as an artist and her ability to connect deeply with audiences. She achieves the rare combination of emotionally intricate, chest-heaving songs with her exceptional skill as a guitarist and piano player and her quick, sardonic wit, garnering loyal fans and the highest esteem of musicians across the world.
From 2020 to 2022 Liz toured as a backing vocalist with Australian luminaries Midnight Oil, has recorded an album at Wilco’s The Loft studios in Chicago and, most recently, created her newest release The Second High with producer/engineer Beni Giles (Lianne La Havas, Oscar Jerome) in Brixton, London. Released in March 2025, the album, described as ‘intelligent and assured’ by The Guardian, sees Liz broaden 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.
Liz will be playing a run of intimate solo shows in October. Do not miss this exceptional artist, experienced and revered in Australia and a shining new talent for audiences in the UK.
Melbourne born, London based musician Liz Stringer has become one of Australia’s most admired and versatile songwriters and instrumentalists over a 6 album career. Stringer is a venerated guitarist and vocalist, her powerful live performances and melodically rich, story-based songs delighting fans and festival-goers throughout Australia and a growing audience in North America and Europe.
A notoriously witty and engaging performer and a natural storyteller, Stringer’s work has been shortlisted for the prestigious Australian Music Prize and has received the respect and endorsement from some of the folk/roots scene’s most influential musicians, including legends Midnight Oil, Jackson Browne and the inimitable Bonnie Raitt.
