Australian singer-songwriter and cellist Alice Hurwood crafts cinematic folk-pop that is both ethereal and emotionally raw. Her angelic vocals and evocative cello arrangements explore themes of heartbreak, longing, and self-discovery, balancing vulnerability with strength.
Alice’s debut album Can We Talk Sometime was released in 2025, touring throughout Australia including the National Folk Festival. The record built on the momentum of her debut EP Retrospect (2020), which she launched to sold-out shows and critical acclaim.
She has toured and collaborated widely across Australia’s folk and indie scenes, performing with artists including Charm of Finches, Anita Lester, Charles Maimarosia, Tulliah and David Bridie. In 2023, she was commissioned by vocal ensemble Alta Collective to compose two original works for choir and solo cello.
In addition to her solo work, Alice has performed at major festivals such as Sydney Festival and WOMAD Aotearoa with art-rock band Not Drowning, Waving. She was named APRA/AMCOS Young Songwriter of the Year for her early songwriting work, and continues to enchant audiences with her warm presence and emotionally detailed live shows.
