Alice Benfer – Saltbush Sally (MP3)
$1.65
Alice Benfer, a multi-award-winning artist, is releasing her new single, ‘Saltbush Sally’, from her current traditional country album, ‘Voices From The Bush’. The track is inspired by a character who lived in the west all her life, as well as native Australian flora, specifically the Saltbush. The Saltbush’s ability to survive in tough environments serves as a symbol for resilient country women in Australia.
Alice hopes ‘Saltbush Sally’, produced and co-written with Sam Hawksley, will resonate with people on the land. The track’s eerie Pedal Steel sets an old western mood taking on a more serious tone. Alice Benfer enjoys writing story songs that connect with audiences of all ages whether it be about the Australian way of life, historical figures, bush characters or stories passed down through time.
‘Saltbush Sally’ has gained international attention, winning ‘Best Traditional Country Song’ at the World Songwriting Awards for Fall 2024. These awards recognise independent artists, with entries from the USA and over 129 countries worldwide. This is Alice’s first international award, highlighting the global recognition of traditional country music.
Alice Benfer continues to write songs in the Traditional country style while incorporating new elements. She appreciates the support from radio and fans and hopes listeners will connect with her latest song ‘Saltbush Sally’.
