Ben Mitchell Sydney Debut

A rare chance to see Ben Mitchell live, at this his first performance in Sydney—and his only show in town!

Ben Mitchell's blend of pop, folk, blues and country songwriting style was once compared to Neil Finn and Ben Harper by Time Out (UK) who described Ben as “A thoughtful songwriter with a gift for simple melodies and powerful emotion.”

WHAT ELSE ARE THEY SAYING?

"Summer Lover" is the perfect antidote to the long winter months…It will warm your soul and brighten your mood—what else could you ask for?” MYLES O’NEILL SHAW, 3 PBS FM

"Ben has a rare talent! ‘Summer Lover’ took me way back to the summer of '76—beautiful weather, beautiful girls and beautiful times! THE COUNT, WAY OUT RADIO (UK)

“Another fine release and collection of songs from Ben that showcases his development as one of Melbourne’s emerging singer/songwriters.” NEIL ROGERS, 3RRR

“Ocean Road is a new Ozzie anthem. Seriously can’t get enough of this song. I LOVE it! Makes me feel proud to be Aussie.” MISS FIORE, SOUTHERN FM

“My favourite local release at the moment.” Stephen Walker, SKULLCAVE, 3RRR FM (for Chance To Love)

"A late night gem.” Jeff Jenkins, The Music (for Chance To Love)

“Mitchell has a strong voice that adapts well to a number of styles, but it's his song-writing skills that put him in a league above.” AMERICANA UK (for The Stars Can See)

Ben Mitchell is a quiet achiever, with every song on his Summer Lover (current release) and Chance To Love (2015) albums receiving radio play across the country—and internationally. One song, ‘Beautiful Mess’, from Chance To Love was picked up by Amazing Radio in London and Ireland. Get Rhythm Magazine in London said Mitchell is, “A powerful performer with bags of stage presence and memorable songs”.

In June this year Mitchell achieved a Number 1 on the Amrap Regional Chart. Summer Lover (released on Ben’s new label, Beautiful Mess Records) is getting glowing reviews including being described as “…the perfect antidote to the long winter months. It will warm your soul and brighten your mood,” Myles O’Neill Shaw (3 PBS FM) and “Another fine release and collection of songs from Ben that showcases his development as one of Melbourne’s emerging singer/songwriters,” Neil Rogers (3RRR).
