Valley Road

Long-time friends Bec and Marty (aka Valley Road) appreciate a good harmony, thoughtful instrumentation and quality songcraft. They collaborate in an organic way, creating moments of gentle beauty and magic that often stir the soul. Their songs are rich in imagery, containing echoes of the dry bush and rolling hills of Central Victoria. 

Rebecca “could sing before she could speak”, and honed her instinct for harmony through years spent in the Australian Girls Choir. She switched her city upbringing for an off-grid life in the Central Victorian bush, where she is inspired every day by the natural world around her. Marty grew up singing to the sheep on his family farm, with his dad, where he still tends the flock to this day. 

The duo released their debut self-titled album in 2023, after they won a Troubadour Foundation Award that enabled them to record with producer Rod McCormack. Since the album’s release, Valley Road have been gradually making a name for themselves in the country/folk realm for their distinctive style, which draws on a diverse range of traditional and contemporary influences, but presented in a uniquely Australian way. Their releases to date have received widespread radio play, including being profiled as “Feature Album of the Week” on ABC Country in November 2023.
