About

Formed by musicians, for musicians.

Rising Sound WA Inc. is a not-for-profit incorporated association supporting original musical and performance works across Western Australia.

We put on concerts in venues, halls, parks and unexpected spaces, take events to towns outside the city, film short-form sessions with original performers, and match musicians with stages that suit them.

Everything runs on members, volunteers and the venues that lend us their rooms.

Season Songbirds — Spring edition poster
Featured series

Season Songbirds

Season Songbirds is a gig series designed to showcase and support female creatives from Western Australia. Inspired by the Nashville Bluebird Café “songwriters in the round” format, each event features four female singer-songwriters sharing original songs and the stories behind them in an intimate, acoustic, seated setting.

Each event also features one female visual artist, who designs the event poster and is highlighted during the gig.

Attendees are encouraged to donate to a selected women-focused organisation, and 10% of proceeds from each gig are allocated to this fundraising effort.

Sun 4 Oct · 4:30–8pm · 24 View St, North Perth · Presented by Midnight Francine
