Beth Lucas makes confessional modern country built for the Saturday afternoon dive bar. She takes the raw, “sad girl country” vulnerability of artists like Megan Moroney and delivers it with the vocal power of Sara Evans with an alt-country edge. Her music is the perfect soundtrack for driving with the windows down and the heartbreak turned up.
Her current sound is the result of a deliberate creative evolution and a return to her roots. While Beth’s early career was planted in the emo and alternative scenes, a brief hiatus from the industry allowed her to reconnect with the country music lifestyle she was raised in. This homecoming refocused her storytelling, trading punk-rock energy for raw, honest narratives. In doing so, she follows the successful footsteps of artists like Andrew Swift and Josh Setterfield, proving that a background in alternative music only adds a deeper, more resonant edge to the modern country landscape.
A two-time Tamworth Songwriters Association award winner, she was recently honoured with the 2026 Geoff Mack Commemorative Award (Open Category) for her upcoming single, ‘What I Deserved.’ This follow-up success builds on an ascendant year in 2025, when she was named New Songwriter of the Year for ‘Rearview Mirror,’ a track produced by James North (Karise Eden, Tom Oliver) and featuring US drummer Travis McNabb (Sugarland, Little Big Town, Megan Moroney).
In 2025, Beth was a semi-finalist in the Urban Country Music Festival Stardust talent quest and the Mothertone Gympie Music Muster talent search, one year after advancing to the Grand Final (Top 5) of the Mothertone Gympie Music Muster talent search and two years on from winning The Ekka’s Country Music Showdown talent search.
A 2023 graduate of the CMAA Academy of Country Music Australia, Beth was selected as the recipient of the coveted Keith Urban Scholarship. Her dedication to her craft saw her return to the Academy in 2025 to further refine her artistry, solidifying her reputation as a committed and evolving songwriter within the Australian country music scene.
“Beth Lucas is going places. She’s got talent and grit, two rare jewels in her crown, and I can’t wait to see what she does next!” - Lyn Bowtell, Artistic Director, CMAA Academy of Country Music Australia
Furthermore, Beth has opened for viral US country artist Alexandra Kay, Australian Idol winner Dylan Wright, Canadian-Australian icon Wendy Matthews, as well as country music legends Travis Collins, Adam Brand, and Taylor Moss. She has been a regular fixture on the Queensland Music Trail events, Gympie Music Muster and Groundwater Country Music Festival, joining lineups including Kasey Chambers, Alli Walker (CAN), Fanny Lumsden, Jackson Dean (USA), The Wolfe Brothers, Casey Barnes and more.
