Ben WilsonOld time folk and country fused with a love of rock n roll,

with songwriting always at it’s core.

Born and raised on the Southern shores of England, ex-pat Ben Wilson cuthis musical teeth in Lismore NSW but has recently relocated to Far NorthQLD. Wilson's solo career kicked off in 2013 when he won Songwriter ofthe Year at the Lismore Young Songwriters competition. Wilson thenself-released two well received EPs (Lonely One 2013, St Albans 2015). Benwent on to play many prestigious festivals across Australia includingSplendour in The Grass (after becoming a finalist of the BuskingCompetition), Falls Music and Arts festival, Mullum Music Fest, BelloWinter Music Fest and many others. In 2017 he won the award forOutstanding Original Music at the Bangalow BBQ & Bluegrass Festival,the prize with which he recorded his debut album ‘Give Me That Hammer’.Wilson's style takes influence from 60’s folk and rock ‘n’ roll and presentsit on an old-time backdrop.

Ben's new album 'Prove', takes greater inspiration from his love of 50's rockand roll, spearheading it with a lyrical content which is fresh, punchy andrelevant to the current climate. Minimalist accompaniments (violin, bass,guitar) to Wilson’s sentimental songs make for an intimate, captivatingexperience.
