Australian singer/songwriter and cellistAlice Hurwood creates intimate folk-pop that shimmers with emotional depth. Blending angelic vocals with atmospheric cello lines, Alice crafts songs that feel delicately powerful, inviting listeners into spaces shaped by vulnerability and warmth.
On stage, Alice performs as a compelling solo artist, accompanying herself on cello while layering live vocal harmonies, subtle loops, and percussive playing to build immersive, dynamic arrangements in real time. Her performances move fluidly between hushed intimacy and rousing folk drive, creating a deeply present and emotionally engaging experience for audiences.
Her 2025 album Can We Talk Sometime marked a major creative leap, launching with a sold-out headline show at Melbourne’s Wesley Anne before touring nationally across Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. In the same year she performed solo at the National Folk Festival, as well as appearing internationally at Sydney Festival and WOMAD Aotearoa with iconic art-rock ensemble Not Drowning, Waving. Since relocating to Berlin in late 2025, she has quickly embedded herself in the European scene with headline and feature performances at TEDxBerlin, Umbrella Sessions (Paris), Hidden Stage (Cologne) Club der Polnischen Versager, Kindl Stuben, Sofar Sounds Berlin, and The Gallery of Things. Alice was named APRA AMCOS Young Songwriter of the Year (2020), and was selected for the prestigious APRA AMCOS 23% Mentorship Program (2025).
