Liz Stringer is one of Australia’s most admired and versatile songwriters and instrumentalists. With a career garnering 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/Ivor Novello Award winning producer/engineer Beni Giles (Lianne La Havas,) at Iguana Studios in Brixton, London, to complete her most accomplished offering yet, her 7th full-length solo album The Second High . The album will be released through Remote Control Records/Dot Dash Recordings on March 28th 2025, seeing Stringer branch into a wider range of her musical influences, using jazz, soul and funk to squarely centre songs drawing on themes of self-actualisation, social inequity and the dogged pursuit of truth and authenticity. Stringer’s 2021 studio album, First Time Really Feeling, was recorded at Toronto’s Union Sound Company with producer/engineer Chris Stringer (Timber Timbre). Released through Courtney Barnett's Milk! Records, the album debuted at #14 on the ARIA Charts in Australia, earned the 2022 AIR Award for Best Blues and Roots Album and shortlisting for APRA's Song of the Year 2022 (Dangerous).
