VALLEY ROAD
Rebecca Jane Howell & Marty Mckenna

First and foremost, Valley Road love to sing together, using their voices to draw out the emotion in a  Longtime friends Bec & Marty have spent years sharing music around the kitchen table at Marty's sheep farm. Their love of folk in all its forms is reflected in their thoughtful songwriting, sparkling guitar lines and easeful vocal harmonies. Their songs are rich in imagery, containing echoes of the dry bush and rolling basalt hills of Central Victoria.

The duo released their debut self-titled album in 2023, after winning a Troubadour Foundation Award that enabled them to record with producer Rod McCormack. Their album has received widespread national airplay, was featured as Album of the Week on ABC Country, and led to the duo being named as finalists for Debut Album of the Year at the Australian Folk Music Awards in 2024. Valley Road also recently supported The Waifs on their 2025 Victorian tour.
