The Story Teller Series continue! This month with Valley Road
Join us for this very special, intimate listening experience, and enjoy this musical magic.
Long-time friends Bec and Marty (Rebecca Howell and Marty Mckenna - aka Valley Road) appreciate a good harmony, thoughtful instrumentation, and quality songcraft. Most importantly, they value honesty and authenticity in music. 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.
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 then, 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. They have supported major touring artists including The Waifs, Eric Bogle, Kevin Welch and Kristina Olsen.
Valley Road are releasing their second album in September 2026, once again made with producer Rod McCormack. Bec and Marty entered the studio with a different kind of clarity and confidence for their second album, 'Plein Air'. The exquisite, heartfelt results find the pair refining and expanding their sound with the addition of some fine session players to add new textures and tones, while again working with producer McCormack. The first 3 singles released from the album have been featured on the ABC's Saturday Night Country and Double J's Tower of Song, as well as receiving widespread community radio airplay across Australia.
“Valley Road is a beautiful alchemy of harmonies, both vocal and instrumental, paired with strong songwriting. Like a calming wave of beauty.” - Kristina Olsen
