Liz first crossed paths with Robbie in a rural Victorian café in 2013 and soon they were seeking out opportunities to play together. From their first rehearsal it was evident that a lengthy musical relationship was on the cards.

The result is a diverse collection of songs which focus on Rowe’s deft touch with story and melody, with an emotional depth that resonates after the final note falls away.
