专辑简介

Raised on Kamilaroi country, Ben grew up on a small farm on the North West Slopes & Plains of New South Wales, Australia. He first picked up his father’s Maton guitar as an early teenager and began writing songs before he even knew how to play. After fronting Newcastle band The Delta Lions, his solo incarnation sees him offer up a soulful blend of minimalistic alt country, Americana, folk and blues.

Citing influence from rhythm & blues icon Sam Cooke as well as Jay Farrar, Steve & Justin Townes Earle, Jason Isbell, Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, Ben’s resonant voice and playing intertwine to offer up a rare honesty that commands attention opening up his heart and leaving it on the table. He is carving himself a niche, touching on subjects that other songwriters wouldn’t dare attempt. Fragile yet confronting and always honest, Ben will make you run the gamut of emotion.
