Folk duo Valley Road are celebrating the release of their debut self-titled album, a timeless collection of beautiful, honest songs of people and place, that are brought to life through their signature aching harmonies and Rod McCormack’s minimal production. Since winning the Troubadour Foundation Award in 2022 to make this album, the pair have been steadily capturing the attention of folk and country audiences alike. Their first singles, ‘The Wind Blew West’ in mid-2023, and follow-up singles ‘1982’ and ‘The Briny Blue’, have garnered wide-spread radio play and been featured on ABC’s Saturday Night Country and Grass Roots.

Rebecca Jane Howell and Marty Mckenna are friends from Central Victoria who have been singing together for over a decade, and this connection shines throughout the album. Their distinct voices create an unexpectedly harmonious and emotive blend, enhanced by their delicate and thoughtful guitar playing. Rebecca could sing before she could speak, and honed her instinct for harmony through years spent in the Australian Girls Choir, and now lives off-grid in the Central Victorian bush near Chewton. Marty grew up singing to the sheep on his family farm, with his dad, where he still tends the flock to this day. The farm provides a perfect setting for the duo to explore their shared love of intricate songcraft.

Their album is available from 27th October via all streaming platforms or visit valleyroadduo.com.au
