Rowena Wise brings her sharp‑edged, emotionally fearless songwriting to The Sunflower Lounge on Saturday 6th March 2027, offering Birmingham an intimate glimpse into one of Australia’s most compelling new voices.
Raised in Margaret River by musician parents and now based in Naarm/Melbourne, Wise blends 60s folk storytelling with indie rock, garage pop and alt‑folk, pairing beauty and chaos with a clarity that cuts straight through.
Since her 2018 debut, she’s earned over 10 million streams, airplay across triple j, double j and Unearthed, and toured the world, supporting Holy Holy, Ball Park Music, Bernard Fanning, Paul Dempsey and more.
Her debut album ‘Senseless Acts of Beauty’ drew praise from CLASH Magazine as “carefully etched indie folk” and was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize, marking her as an artist with both emotional depth and staying power.
Now she steps into a new chapter with ‘Bad Things Feel Good’, her sophomore album produced by Rob Muinos (Julia Jacklin, Didirri), a tender, unflinching meditation on transformation, desire and the messy truths that shape us.
This Sunflower Lounge date offers a rare chance to see Wise up close as she unveils this new era, bringing her raw honesty, magnetic presence and beautifully tangled songs to one of Birmingham’s most beloved small rooms.
