Canberra based Indie Acoustic artist Ben Drysdale is bringing his genre bending solo show to Whalebone Brewing Company, Exmouth on Friday April 9th from 6:30pm.

Drysdale colours his heartfelt lyrics with musical shades of indie folk, reggae, blues, funk and soul tailoring the energy of a set to the room: whether engaging a thoughtful listening crowd or filling a dance floor.

Ben has been playing around Canberra and the East coast of Australia since 2004 and is pumped to be hitting Australia's beautiful West Coast for the first time.

Over the years he was worked solo under his own, and fronting a number of bands including Smitten, Beth n Ben, and 8 piece funk and soul outfit East Row Rabble. He has recently been working with writers and producers all over the world to develop a new solo Indie Folk project under his own name.
Ben has played shows in the US, Ireland and Canada and played on bills with some of Australia’s greatest including Paul Kelly and the Waifs, and international stars such as Chris Isaak.

He has released five studio EPs and a full length live album including Smitten’s self-titled debut EP (2007), Beth n Ben’s releases Boarding Pass (EP 2010), Economy Class (EP 2011), Scenic Roots (EP 2013), and Baggage Claim (Live Album 2015), and East Row Rabble’s debut self-titled EP (2018). Another 4 track EP under Back Alley Scholar, and a 6 track solo EP are as yet unreleased and will be coming out later this year.
