Women in Song is one of the PAVE Festival's most popular events. It features four women singer songwriters sharing the stage and performing four songs each (two each set) plus a surprise to close the show.

This event has been running for over 15 years and with the cancellation of events over the past 3 years, it was the only PAVE Festival event to be held in 2021.

Now, we present the 2022 Women in Song concert with 4 powerful women, each popular and talented in their own right. But watch what happens when they share the stage. There's a chemistry that never fails and can't be explained; you have to see it to believe the magic.

This year's line up is:

Alison Ferrier Lang
Alison Ferrier’s music has been described as, “Country punk, rock and blues meets folkish melancholy and gingham country with a dash of double denim '70s sweetness.” The Melbourne-based musician crafts songs of nostalgia and the human condition. Ferrier’s voice is unadorned, warm and inviting, she’s a talented guitarist and an active player in Melbourne’s vibrant music scene. One third of award-winning blues powerhouse Opelousas, and more recently, experimental folk band High Ace with husband Jeff Lang, she has also released three solo studio albums. www.alisonferriermusic.com
