20 Year Anniversary Tour – New Buffalo

3 Mar 2024

Book Tickets for Fri 13th Sept at Mary’s Underground, Sydney

Book tickets for Sat 7th Sept at Northcote Social Club, MELBOURNE

Some of you may not know that when I first started recording and releasing music as a solo artist, I went under the name New Buffalo. 2024 marks the 20 Year Anniversary of my debut New Buffalo album, The Last Beautiful Day.

Looking back, I can’t really believe that I wrote, recorded and produced this album myself. But I had a clear vision. I drew inspiration from the old show tunes I used to sing in high school, combined with bands like Pavement and The Blake Babies. Also, a cherished mix tape of Marilyn Monroe songs given to me by a close friend played a key role in shaping the sound scapes, lyrics and sentiments on this album.

To mark the 20 Year Anniversary of The Last Beautiful Day, I’ll be playing two very special live shows! Joining me in my band will be the smooth and soulful Bonnie Stewart on drums, harmonies and samples, as well as one of Sydney’s most talented musicians Neal Sutherland, on bass.

Will we play the entire album? YES!!! And some new songs, and a few more New Buffalo oldies.

Supports for the show will be the enticing Georgia Mulligan in Sydney, and the incredibly brilliant  Hannah Cameron in Melbourne.

I invite you to join us!

Fri 13th Sept –  Mary’s Underground, SYDNEY/EUORA

Sat 7th Sept – Northcote Social Club, MELBOURNE / NAARM

NEW BUFFALO – The Last Beautiful Day – Now on Vinyl

10 Aug 2023

ORDER NOW!

Hello and wow, how excited I am to let you know that my debut New Buffalo album The Last Beautiful Day is available on vinyl !!!

Featuring Beth Orton, Jim White and Jens Lekman – I wrote, recorded and produced The Last Beautiful Day on my own in my home studio. Order your copy HERE.

‘Intoxicating’ New York Times

“Seltmann stages another off-kilter, homemade, shockingly intimate symphony.” The Age, 5 Stars

The Last Beautiful Day is available on black vinyl, and there are some special red translucent vinyls too!

The beautiful artwork is by New York artist Dan Estabrook. Photos of my younger self are by Anita Beany. Thank you to everyone who played in my live band during this time. Thanks to all of you who came along and to the shows and laughed and cried and told me the personal stories in your lives in which my music was the soundtrack.

My favourite song on the album is ‘Yes’. A personal poem, a song of longing and apologetic offerings, and the song that The New York Times reviewer was drawn to.

Huge thanks to my husband Darren. He encouraged me to make this album on my own. To take on all the roles, engineer and edit all the samples and vocals and get completely lost in the music making.

Your Energy – New song out today!

9 Feb 2023

My new song ‘Your Energy’ is out today! Stream it on all music services. Listen to ‘Your Energy’ on Spotify

‘Your Energy’ is a song about the importance of humans connecting with each other, and with nature. It was inspired by my conversation on the Podsongs podcast with Tom Oliver, Professor of Ecology at Reading University, and author of The Self Delusion.

‘Your Energy’ was recorded in Sydney, Australia and Vallo della Lucania, Italy, at Goldmine Studios.

The Podsongs team includes Maurizio Sarnicola Massimino Voza Luigi Falcione

And the studio in Italy where a lot of the song was recorded is Goldmine Records

Thank you to Jack Stafford for inviting me to be part of this amazing project, and for contributing to the songwriting!


It’s my first ever song with spoken word, and I actually made that section of the song up on the spot, recording it all in the first take. I am now Sally Seltmann – singer-songwriter / composer / producer / author / freestyler. (haha)
You can hear my interview with Tom Oliver and Jack Stafford on Jack’s podcast Podsongs

I hope you enjoy the song and many thanks for your support. xx

Night Bird – second single from ‘Early Moon’

20 Jul 2022

Night Bird is out today!

When I was living in Silver Lake, Los Angeles a few years ago – in a small house on a hill – there was a loud, chirping bird in the garden. It would only start up when it was dark, and it would keep me awake all night!

I called it the Night Bird, and I wrote this song in it’s honour. 

I would always imagine how free it must have felt under moonlight and stars, as I’d lie in bed starring at the dark ceiling, my worries tangled up inside my mind.

And that was what became one of the main sentiments of the song. Our shared desire to be free. “Free like the wind in the trees.”

Available now on all streaming services.
