In 2025, Courtney Keil was crowned Best Female Vocal at the Tamworth Country Music Festival’s Australian Country Music People’s Choice Awards for the third consecutive year, a testament to her talent, dedication, and the deep connection she shares with her audience.

 

Following her heartfelt duet ‘Worn In’ with Platinum and Multi-Golden Guitar winner Gina Jeffreys, Courtney released the nostalgic and deeply personal double single ‘Just Like Flying’ and ‘Broke’. While ‘Just Like Flying’ pays homage to memories and family stories, ‘Broke’ bursts with a fast tempo and fresh bluegrass flavour, showcasing Courtney’s unmistakable gift for storytelling through song.

From the sprawling fields of Gympie Music Muster to the bright lights of John Cain Arena, Courtney has proven she can captivate audiences on any stage. She has opened for legends including Brian Cadd, The Whitlams, Adam Harvey, Karise Eden, Angus Gill, and Gina Jeffreys, while also delivering standout televised performances on Channel 7’s Good Friday Appeal, the Fox Sports Supercars Championship at Bathurst and Sandown, and the NBL at John Cain Arena. Each performance reflects her energy, authenticity, and undeniable stage presence.

Her debut album, The Good Kind, stormed to #1 on the iTunes Country Australia chart, producing four #1 singles and amassing over 500,000 streams, firmly establishing her as one of Australia’s most exciting new country voices. A born storyteller, Courtney continues to collaborate with some of Nashville’s finest songwriters, including Sam Gay (Deric Ruttan / Little Texas), Templeton Thompson (Reba McEntire / Jo Dee Messina), and Sally Barris (Trisha Yearwood / Keith Urban), weaving songs rich with endurance, sentiment, and soul.

Fresh from a mid-year recording trip to Nashville with multi-award-winning producer Rod McCormack, Courtney is already shaping her much-anticipated sophomore album, set for release in 2026. With every song, she continues to cement her place as a rising star in Australian country music, bringing heart, authenticity, and unforgettable performances to fans across the nation.
