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 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 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. The soaring, anthemic To Survive tells a compelling, visceral tale of a young man’s struggle growing up on the streets of Melbourne, and strength and resilience of the community he represents.

A fitting title, then, for a tour that also celebrates one of Stringer’s most triumphant albums to date, and will no doubt offer the unique catharsis – along with addictive grooves, expert arrangements and musical and vocal prowess that fans of Stringers’ music and live performance have come to relish and anticipate.

Audiences will be given the opportunity to donate a chosen amount directly to a local homelessness support organisation using a QR code displayed at each show, to which Liz will also donate personally.  Under one roof to support those with none.

Supports TBA
