“A tour de force of contemporary acoustic guitar styles. A virtuoso guitarist.” – Xpress Music
Ben has performed at huge festivals across the world with the likes of The Doobie Brothers, John Butler, Xavier Rudd, Travis, Jessie J and many more. Around WA, you may have caught him at festivals such as Bluesfest Perth, Nannup Music Festival, Blues at Bridgetown, WA Guitar Festival, WAMFest, Mandurah Crabfest, to name a few.
His live show has become renowned for his over-the-neck style guitar playing, blistering riffs, delicate finger-tapping and ‘singing-into-the-guitar’.
