Hailing from the small coastal town of Yamba, NSW, roots duo Alivan Blu have established themselves as an integral part of the rising folk scene in Australia. Beginning their journey as a couple in 2016, the band quickly fell in love with traveling and making music on the road, drawing on influences from Ben Howard to Fleetwood Mac.
The duo are comprised of Anna Stanton and Jed Billington, who are also in a relationship and have traveled the country making music since 2017.
Having grown up with the ocean at their front door, Alivan’s earthly blend of warm harmonies and dreamy melodic guitar riffs encapsulate salt water on warm summer nights and have seen them on a steady release trail since their debut single ‘Wild Eyes’ in 2019. Since then, they have accumulated over 2.5 million Spotify streams, over nine singles and their debut EP.
