Double J, Archive Mid North Coast, Remote Control Records, Select Music & Wombat Housing Support Services presents…
Liz Stringer - The To Survive Tour
with special guest, Bellingen local Maddi O'Brien

Off the back of the London launch of her latest album, The Second High, venerated Australian songwriter Liz Stringer is set to return Down Under for an extended run of shows beginning in October.

 But this 17-date tour isn’t just an opportunity for Stringer to bring her latest piano-infused, poignant, and deeply vibey offering to her nation-wide fanbase. Presented by Select Music, Remote Control Records and in partnership with Wombat Housing Support Services, the To Survive tour will also act as a campaign to bring awareness to the housing crisis affecting the country and raise much-needed funds for Australia’s most vulnerable.

A long-time advocate for social equity, Liz Stringer began to use her platform to highlight the issues faced by young and underprivileged people experiencing housing instability and sleeping rough in Australia after a successful fundraising show for Wombat Housing Support Services at Melbourne’s Thornbury Theatre in late 2021.

A renowned storyteller, one of the tracks on Liz’s new record The Second High documents the real-life story of one of the inspirational staff at Wombat. For her show at Bowraville Theatre, Liz has linked up with NAMBUCCA VALLEY YOUTHIE to raise awareness and fundraising for the work they do in the local community.

Audiences will be given the opportunity to donate their chosen amount using QR codes at each show, to which Liz will also donate personally.

Under one roof to support those with none.

Liz Stringer is one of Australia’s most admired and versatile songwriters and instrumentalists. 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.

Liz will be performing with her full band.

Liz will be supported by local Maddi O'Brien, recently returned from overseas adventures;

'Hailing from the hills of Eastern NSW, Australia, travelling troubadour Maddi O’Brien sings ambient folk and melodious lover blues with a warbling bush twist. Her sultry words of poetry come to life as if your own distant memories.'
