Elizabeth Player

Live at The Church

22 November 2025

Liz Player is a rising-star Jazz vocalist and composer pushing the boundaries of musical creativity, technique and storytelling. Emerging from the vibrant musical scene of the Sydney Conservatorium, Liz has been mentored by Jazz greats such as Judy Bailey, Kevin Hunt and Craig Scott, honing a sound that evokes the masters of the past and the genre-pushing artists of today. Described as "brilliant", "brave" and "overflowing with talent" by acclaimed reviewer Eric Meyers, Liz has showcased her craft across multiple sell-out headline shows alongside her band, The Liz Player Quartet (Sabine Tapia, Thomas Odell, Matt Simmonds) and on some of Australia's largest stages (Qudos Bank Arena, The ICC). With her debut live album released in 2023 and now the 2025 2MBS Fine Music Jazz Artist In Residence, Liz has just released her debut Studio EP, Crystalline. In future she aims to commence a Master’s Degree in Jazz Performance overseas and use this experience to kickstart an international performing and recording career.
