“Award-winning Melbourne songstress Rowena Wise has grown up with music, touring nationally and internationally from a young age in the Wise Family Band. In the vein of Feist, she lays pop-infused melodies, and rich, quirky conversational lyrics onto a sparse folk canvas.
Wise’s debut album was recorded by acclaimed indie producer Nick Huggins after the project snowballed with a successful crowd-funding campaign early 2015. The songs draw from rich poeticism and stark imagery, over distinctive melodies, pop hooks and warm, multilayered acoustic instrumentation.
Following the ‘Then We Met’ single tour in April, Wise’s album releases on September 10th followed by a national tour with her trio band comprised of Zac Barter (Canary) and Finn Bennet (Officer Parrot). The trio drives a compelling set with stellar arrangements of Wise’s songs on double bass, accordion, ukulele and striking three part vocal harmonies.
