Liz Stringer

Career

Liz Stringer put out her first studio album in 2006. In August 2008, Deborah Conway asked Stringer to join the Broad Festival project, which traveled to major Australian cities and included a stop at the Sydney Opera House. Alongside Stringer and Conway were Laura Jean, Dianna Corcoran, and Elana Stone; the group performed both their own songs and covers of each other's material. Come August 2013, Stringer teamed up with Mia Dyson and Jen Cloher to create Dyson Stringer Cloher.

The three released an EP with one track from each artist, then played more than 40 shows across Australia. In 2019, Stringer got back together with Dyson and Cloher. They cut a self-titled album in just eight days that April at The Loft in Chicago, put it out in October 2019, and toured nationally. February 2021 brought news that Stringer had signed with Milk!

Records as a solo act. Her sixth album, First Time Really Feeling, arrived in April 2021; it was recorded at Toronto's Union Sound Company and produced and engineered by Chris Stringer. In November 2024, Stringer dropped the single "Coming Home," and in January 2025 she revealed her seventh album, The Second High.
