Ally Palmer

Multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Ally Palmer creates beautiful, heartfelt soulful-folk songs that reveal her enticing blend of vulnerability and strength. Her smooth harmonies and laid back style provide feel good vibes for those hot summer days spent by the ocean. Ally’s music is heavily influenced by her love of old soul music, mixed with her roots in folk.

After touring Australia as a keyboardist for a range of bands and artists, in 2016 Ally decided to take the plunge and pursue her original music. She has since released two EP’s, her debut album, “Need You Around” (2022), receiving worldwide radio airplay and her most recent album ‘Take Me To The Water’ (2025). She has shared the stage with some of Australia’s top artists’ including Pete Murray, The Dreggs, Kim Churchill, Alex Lloyd and Phil Jamieson (Grinspoon), and has played some of Australia’s top festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, Byron Bay Bluesfest and Blues On Broadbeach.

Originally a solo artist, in 2020 Ally started collaborating with additional musicians, to breathe depth and expansion into her songs and produce a groove based sound ideally suited to a live setting. This new direction has injected more soul into her sound. Combining old school soul with smooth and uplifting lyrics, from funk, moody blues, indie folk to lilting surf-rock, there is a clarity and maturity that dazzles in Ally’s music.
