MEL PARSONS (NZ) & LIZ STRINGER (AUS)
AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND - SEPT/OCT 2017
Join two of Australasia’s indie-folk darlings on a journey of music & story - sharing songs from their back catalogues along with select southern hemisphere favourites that have helped shape them as artists. Both performers have distinctive voices, a story-telling bent and a dry humour that will have audiences laughing & crying, not necessarily in that order.
Mel Parsons is well known to NZ audiences, the award-winning songwriter tours full time from international festivals to woolsheds in our own backyard, and has her third critically acclaimed album under her belt.
Liz Stringer is a highly regarded songwriter and musician in her home country of Australia, who has toured internationally with a host of artists and now counts Bonnie Raitt in her ever-growing list of fans. Stringer is returning fresh from a Canadian summer tour, completing just over a year of touring to support the critically acclaimed release of her 5th studio album, “All The Bridges” in July 2016.
“Anyone recalls a Chrissie Hynde-like balance of unsettling lyrical directness and pop composure”
– Rolling Stone
“Liz Stringer has become one of the most respected singer-songwriters on the national scene”
– TheMusic.com
Parsons & Stringer kick off their trans-Tasman run in Australia on September 21st in Adelaide, running through until October 14th in Canterbury, New Zealand.
