Long Bio
Aly can’t help but sing about the mountains near her home in rural Southern Alberta.
Her music celebrates the history and landscape of her home in near the Rocky Mountains and the experiences of women in these places.
Her vocals- pure with a hint of Irish lament- are complimented by intricate and rhythmic guitar that transports you to the mountains that her songs are inspired by.
An early introduction to the mountains and guitar from her parents set the stage for her musical career. When she is not singing she loves trail running, hunting, climbing and paddling. She holds records in running and cannoeing. She was singing the entire time. These experiences, as well as a deep inspiration from the women who broke trail before her, inspire her folky music.
Drawing from the wealth of stories from the Alberta Rockies, her songs celebrate the stories of females who blazed the trail before her.
She released her first single "Wise Woman of the Woods," in Summer of 2024, and released her first album in 2026
The album: Mountain Matriarchy, tells 6 historical stories from Women who lived within 100km of Aly's home, that together tell the greater story of trying to carve out a life in the Rockies.

The Action Ain't Broken Yet
(Josephine)
Josephine headed North after a tumultuous life in Colorado to start over in Northern Montana. There, she met a Warden named Dan Doody and leaned into the Pioneer life with creativity and hard work.
Most famously, she started a business providing Moonshine to men on the railway. The Railway was on the other side of the North fork River, and Josephine would deliver the liquor by boat after the men put in their order-1 quart for every train whistle.
