THE LADY BUSHRANGER | Alice Benfer | Alice Benfer brings another remarkable chapter of Australian history to life with her new single, “The Lady Bushranger,” a compelling traditional country song inspired by the extraordinary story of Jessie Hickman. | | Regarded as one of Australia’s most fascinating female bushrangers, Jessie Hickman became renowned for her exceptional horsemanship, cattle rustling and remarkable ability to evade the authorities. Her unconventional life was filled with danger, adventure and determination, making her story a natural fit for the rich storytelling tradition of Australian country music. | | Alice has long held a deep passion for Australian history and for uncovering the stories of characters whose lives deserve to be remembered in song. Jessie’s story particularly captured her imagination, with female bushrangers being extremely rare in Australian history. Alice was drawn to the courage, resilience and challenges Jessie would have faced while surviving in such a demanding era. | | Written by Alice Benfer and produced by Sam Hawksley, “The Lady Bushranger” combines authentic traditional country instrumentation, expressive vocals and vivid storytelling. With its distinctly Australian character and historical heart, the single invites listeners to ride alongside one of the country’s most intriguing outlaws and rediscover an unforgettable piece of our bush heritage. |
