First Local Talent is singer/songwriter: Spotlighting Aurelle Brunjes

Hailing from North Queensland, Aurelle’s music sways between an eclectic mix of folk, country and indie rock. Inspired by the picturesque landscape of Australia, Aurelle weaves stories and wild imaginings into her music. Her songs express what’s in her heart and mind whether it be passing musings or deeper feelings.

A school teacher by day, Aurelle trades the books for her guitar on the weekends, performing live around the Atherton Tablelands. Her performance style has been described as engaging and honest, building rapport and empathy with her audience through her imagery and songs.

Aurelle has received accolades through international song writing competitions and recently won “New Songwriter of the Year” 2019-2020 in the Tamworth Capital Country Music Association National Songwriter Awards.

Aurelle has supported renowned Aussie artists Ash Grunwald and 8 Ball Aitken and has appeared in the Woodfordia Festival of Small Halls Tour 2018-2019. She recently took the stage at the 2021 Savannah in the Round, a career highlight for Aurelle.

Aurelle’s debut single “Magpie” was released in October and has been described as an “ode” to the notorious bird.

“Rain Song” is Aurelle’s second release due out in February 2022. A song depicting the land in the savannah country around Dimbulah before the monsoon. Featuring a special collaboration with indigenous artist, David Hudson on didgeridoo.
