Tour name: Rowena Wise 'Blood Ties' solo Single Tour

Doors open: 19:00

Rowena Wise is a Naarm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter whose writing pairs quiet courage with razor-sharp emotional precision, blending 60s folk storytelling with indie rock, garage pop, and alt-folk. Raised in Margaret River, Western Australia, and shaped by a deep family lineage of musicianship, Wise has built a devoted international following since debuting in 2018, earning airplay across triple j, double j and Unearthed and surpassing 9.2 million streams. Her 2024 debut album Senseless Acts of Beauty was praised by CLASH Magazine as “carefully etched indie folk” and shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize, followed by extensive touring across Australia, the UK, Europe, the USA, and Canada. Known for understated intensity, soaring melodies, and intimate lyricism, Wise continues to carve out a singular space in contemporary songwriting, with new music on the horizon.

This is a solo show.

Live reviews

Great to see Rowena Wise again in Brisbane, this time at the Junk Bar. It has been over a year so I was hoping that my memories weren't deceiving me and Rowena was as good as I remembered, especially as I managed to bring a friend who wasn't a regular with live music.

As ever, Rowena was great. 3 things really stand out for me - she has a lovely voice, she gets a great sound out of the instruments she plays and the thing that keeps my listening to her is her lyrics.

Rowena said afterwards that she will be back later in the year with her band. I'm sure many of the songs will be the same but the sound will be much fuller, so really looking forward to that!
