Benno is a musical soloist for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
No backing tracks, no fixed arrangements. That's the whole point of Benno's Big Sing, and it's why the set can shift halfway through when the room tells him to. He's played most of the well known venues and events across Queensland, mixing classic and current hits from the 60s onward. Give him an idea beforehand of the songs or genres that suit your crowd and he'll shape the show around them. The material leans on Cold Chisel, Creedence, The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Glen Campbell, U2, Pearl Jam, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and The Script, played as genuine live acoustic versions.

Chris’s performance on Saturday was absolutely great.
To be honest I didn’t see as much of the performance as I would have liked as I was catching up with everyone, however what I did see was excellent and exactly the way both Bec and I had envisaged.
The feedback from those who attended was all positive, great playlist (even Wiggles for the kids), Chris engaged the crowd, asked and was very open to requests, played the whole 3 hours (which is just rare, wouldn’t happen in a pub).
He is a credit to your agency and a very talented musician to boot.
As a consequence too, he may end up with more work from this gig as well.
Thanks again for being able to assist in making my party just that little more special!
Cheers
Thanks

An outstanding job entertaining our diverse group at a recent fundraising event for Cystic Fibrosis. He was exactly what we needed for our group: he was engaging, charismatic and very professional at all times. His ability as a guitarist and sensational vocalist wowed the crowd from the moment he commenced. He entertained us all with a broad range songs and managed to get even the most reluctant crowd members up and dancing to his tunes. At one stage during the event he suggested to the audience that they write their song requests on $5, $10 or $20 with money raised going to the fundraiser which was pure genius. By the time the end of the night came everybody was disappointed that the venue had to close as they wanted to dance all night long. Thanks again

Chris’s enthusiasm with music is inspiring. He is very adaptable to any sort of music that you require and has a very unique voice. His music always guarantees to get the dancers dancing. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending and using Chris at any event that we have here.
