SINGER-SONGWRITER Liz Stringer is returning to Australia after launching her seventh studio album, The Second High.<\/p>\n

Now based in London, the artist is bringing a deeper meaning to her home soil ‘To Survive’ tour, in partnership with Wombat Housing Support Services, to raise awareness and funds for the housing crisis, particularly for the most vulnerable members of the communities she visits.<\/p>\n

The 17-date tour will also serve as a campaign, Under One Roof, for the long-time advocate for social equity, who has leveraged her profile and platform since 2021 to highlight the issues faced by people who face housing instability or sleeping rough.<\/p>\n

“As an artist who’s toured all corners of Australia for many years now, the growing wealth disparity and impact of the housing crisis in this country have never been more obvious to me,” Stringer said.<\/p>\n

“Housing is a human right, and yet, because of years of policy decisions and a lack of forward thinking, an increasing number of Australians are either already homeless or experiencing chronic housing insecurity.<\/p>\n

“It’s never sat right with me that a country as rich as Australia should allow a section of constituents to live so precariously while others become more and more wealthy.”<\/p>\n

One of Australia’s most versatile songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Stringer’s accolades include Port Fairy Folk Festival’s 2023 Artist of the Year and the Emerging Legend of Australian Song at Woodford Folk Festival in 2020.<\/p>\n

Collaborating with Grammy-nominated and Ivor Novello Award-winning producer Beni Giles in London, The Second High branches into a broader range of Stringer’s musical influences, with jazz, soul, and funk serving as a canvas for songs with themes of self-actualisation, social inequity, and the pursuit of truth and authenticity.<\/p>\n

“I’m helping to facilitate my audience to support their communities in the hope that it further shines a bright light on the issues facing vulnerable Australians everywhere,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Homelessness and housing stress can impact anyone at any time, and I feel that I have a social responsibility to communities, who have been so good to me over the years, to provide support for those people where I can.<\/p>\n

“At each show there will be an opportunity to donate, to meet the people behind the organisations, and to talk about ways you can lend support.”<\/p>\n

Audiences can donate to a local organisation using QR codes, to which Stringer will also contribute.<\/p>\n
