Ben Walker is not your typical songwriter. This British-born artist, now calling Sydney's Northern Beaches home, writes songs of heart, soul, joy, sadness and hope. He writes them with nuance, poignancy and in- sight and combines them with soulful melodies with poignant storytelling that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect deeply.

In 2020, Ben began releasing music and his heartfelt tunes earned him festival appearances, co-writing opportunities with other talented artists, and widespread radio play. But the real proof of his talent came in 2022 when his song "I Won't Forget" (a beautiful collaboration with Allan Caswell, Beth Lucas, and Stephen Dobson) was listed as a semifinalist in the International Songwriting Competition (Folk Category) and soared to number 1 on the Australian Country Radio Chart.

Seeing Ben perform is an event you won't forget. His solo shows are intimate and captivating, with a disarming honesty that draws you in. Expect to be taken on an emotional journey, with each song a chapter in a larger narrative. See the highlights real from one of his recent acoustic shows here.
