Alice Benfer

Alice Benfer is a rising force in Australian traditional country music, known for her authentic storytelling and deep connection to the bush. Raised in rural Australia, Alice developed a love for country music from the age of seven, performing traditional songs and quickly discovering her passion for songwriting and live performance.

 

A graduate of the CMAA Academy of Country Music in 2014, Alice has built a strong reputation for heartfelt performances and genuine artistry. Her chart-topping single “Old Felt Hat” reached No.1 on the Country Songs Top 40, while her album Voices from The Bush further cemented her place as a leading voice in traditional country. Her accolades include the 2021 Green Brother’s Peter Blundell Memorial Talent Search win and a 2024 World Songwriting Award for “Saltbush Sally.”

 

Her latest release, Saddle Dreaming, produced by Sam Hawksley, is a nostalgic tribute to life on the land. Co-written with bush poet Gregory M Dillon, the song captures the essence of early mornings, working horses, and the enduring spirit of rural Australia. With a modern take on classic bush ballads, Alice continues to honour tradition while connecting with a new generation of country music listeners.
