Live concert by Australian indie rock and alt-folk singer-songwriter Rowena Wise at The Green Door Store.
Rowena Wise plays The Green Door Store on Saturday 13 March, part of a tour that brings the Melbourne-based singer-songwriter to Brighton. It's a solo bill, so the night is built around her set.
Wise grew up in the surf town of Margaret River in Western Australia, and music was part of the house from the start: her mother is a folk musician from Chicago, and her father is a luthier who builds custom guitars. She's now based in Melbourne and is working towards a new album, so this tour sits in that gap between records when a songwriter is out on the road with new material still taking shape.
Her sound pulls from a few different places, and the set should reflect that. It ranges from indie rock and garage pop to alt-folk, and she's a sharp lyricist who draws on the storytelling of 60s folk icons. If you're trying to place her, she sits comfortably alongside artists like Aldous Harding, Courtney Barnett, Julie Byrne and Julia Jacklin — the kind of songwriting that lets the lyrics lead and isn't afraid to shift gears between songs.
