Melbourne/Naarm-based artist Rowena Wise creates music that ruminates on love, alienation, and self-empowerment. Having gained a burgeoning reputation over the last few years as both a lyricist and performer, Rowena recently opened up her songbook up to the world with her debut album Senseless Acts of Beauty. A new zenith, Rowena's songs are full of emotional depth, and by allowing a searing honesty to run throughout, she’s being true to herself and the listener, holding space for all of life’s wonder and mess.
From the very start, PBS 106.7FM has led the way for all Melburnians to experience live music with broadcasts from the back of the Prince of Wales in St Kilda more than 30 years ago.
That strong live music tradition continues with PBS Studio 5 Live, weekly live performance broadcasts from the PBS studios. The vibe is grassroots, with an unwavering commitment to quality and diversity.
The sessions consist of a half hour live set and a short interview with one of our announcers.
