Enjoy a night with local performing artists sharing their songs and stories of hope and resilience. Curated by multi award winning songwriter Elizabeth Riordan, all profits will be donated to Art of The Minds to support their Surf Coast MHFA 500 initiative.

Elizabeth is a multi award winning songwriter from Geelong, Victoria. After graduating from the Australian Institute of Music, Elizabeth started touring the major cities of Australia and releasing her own compositions. Her song “I’m In Love With You” won the prestigious Mark Award for Best Production Music Song (Vocal). This gave Elizabeth the opportunity to write with labels such as Universal Music, Atlantic Records, Roc Nation and more. Her music has been used in video games, Netflix, TV and movies globally.

Her debut album “Songs I Wrote as Therapy” was released in 2023. This album describes her experience of anxiety, infertility and successful birth after loss - connecting with women everywhere. Most recently, her song “Daisies” from this album won Best Australasian Pop at the 2025 Intercontinental Music Awards in LA.

Her new album “No Prospects” features all the songs created on a writing trip to Atlanta, Georgia, where she had the privilege of working with producers from Roc Nation, Atlantic Records, Warner and more. The album reflects on themes of self belief, courage and resilience - talking to her younger self as a reminder of what was and what is.
