Rowena Wise

Presented by The Slack Agency, Beloved Records, Remote Control Records:

This spring, Rowena Wise makes her long-awaited New Zealand debut, bringing an intimate solo show across the motu for the first time. With just voice and guitar, Rowena’s songs hit with a rare kind of clarity - tender, point-blank, and unafraid of the quietest truths.

From Melbourne to Auckland, Wellington to Oakura and beyond, the tour celebrates a body of work that holds space rather than demands attention, tracing heartbreak, estrangement, and the knottier growing pains of adulthood with candid poetic lyricism.

Since debuting in 2018, Rowena has amassed over 10 million streams, earned airplay across triple j, Double J and Unearthed, and toured extensively across Australia, the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, supporting artists including Folk Bitch Trio, Holy Holy, Ball Park Music, Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey. 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.
Expect favourites, new material, and the kind of stillness you can feel in your chest.
