Friday, Liz Stringer @ Kyneton Music Festival
Leading a stellar line up will be Liz Stringer. Recorded in Portland, Oregon, new collection of songs All The Bridges features guitar work on all material, as Stringer veers into some wonderful rootsty pop with recognisable, heartfelt ballads.

Indeed, Stringer has become a favourite among punters for her generous and engaging stage demeanour and her skill as a storyteller. She has proved with solo shows, and with Van Walker at The Old Hepburn, that she’s very open to offers on stage.
