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. 

Listen back to Underground Love with Jordan Oakley on Tuesday August 27 to hear an intimate Studio 5 Live session from Rowena Wise.

PBS thanks the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust for funding assistance to build and fit out Studio 5.
