Benjamin is a musical soloist for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Benjamin sings and plays guitar with the kind of voice built for big choruses, pitched somewhere near U2, Queen, Muse and Jeff Buckley. The song choices lean on pop from the last few decades: The Police, Paul Simon, Midnight Oil and Split Enz through Matchbox 20, Pearl Jam and Oasis, then forward to Kings of Leon, Mumford and Sons and Lady Gaga. What makes him easy to book is that he plays to the crowd rather than to a fixed set. He can be the loud centre of the room or sit back and fill a bar with something warm and low. Influences run through Pete Murray, The Whitlams, Diesel and Renee Geyer.

Our event went really well last week and Benjamin was wonderful. He was so lovely to work with, he was laid back and relaxed and made the entertainment part of the day effortless for us. His music was really good and everyone really enjoyed it. We particularly loved that he learnt a few songs for the day and he did a great job.
We would love the opportunity to enjoy Benjamin's music again and would love to hear about any venues where he is playing in future.
Many thanks again for all your assistance in booking the music for our event.
Wishing you a great year ahead!

Benjamin did a fabulous job last night.
He was all set and ready to go when I arrived at 4.30pm which was really great and although it was mainly background music he provided the atmosphere I was looking for me.
Many and have a great weekend.

Ben was awesome! Perfect for our boat trip. There was a bit of a rain storm as we were 20 mins from the marina and his equipment looked like it got a bit wet, so I’m going to reach out to check he is all okay. Thanks again

Benjamin did an amazing job, he turned up early and snuck out without a trace after the awards presentations got underway, he was so professional throughout and he added a really nice touch to the evening. We were really impressed with him and heard nothing but great feedback about him from all the guests.
Thank you for all your help in organising and we look forward to dealing with you again in the future!
