Raised with a musical education that included Chicago (the band not the musical), The Beatles, and James Taylor and with an iPod playlist that ranges from Bob Dylan to Dragonforce, Ben's lyrics are insightful, his melodies addictive and his songs have taken him from Melbourne-town to stages in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Jakarta.
Add to this his three enormously talented friends and you have yourself a four-piece band that's like nothing you've ever heard - with a range of instruments that include piano, ukulele, mandolin, flute, guitar and djembe.
A gig with Ben and His Friends feels more like a jam with some killer musicians in a lounge room some place, where you can't help but sing along and be moved by the songs and stories of this exciting young band.
