Liz Stringer
Liz Stringer is one of Australia’s most admired and versatile songwriters, instrumentalists, writers and advocates. With a career spanning seven 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, Stringer 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, Stringer worked with Grammy nominated producer Beni Giles in London (where she now resides), to complete her most accomplished offering yet. Described by The Guardian as “intelligent and assured”, ‘The Second High’ sees Stringer 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.
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.
