Gold Coast singer-songwriter Ben Morgan is coming home, and he’s bringing a fresh batch of songs with him. Fresh off the biggest overseas run of his career, Ben plays an intimate show in The Gin Parlour, giving locals an early listen to material from his upcoming debut album.
Ben’s sound sits somewhere between indie-folk and blues: a gravelly, lived-in voice, finger-picked guitar work and the unexpected lift of saxophone weaving through it all. His songs are drawn from real moments, touching on love, heartbreak, travel and the natural world, and they land with the honesty of someone who learned his craft playing to passers-by on the streets of the East Coast.
That busking start has since grown into a global audience in the millions online, and stage time alongside Ziggy Alberts, Boy & Bear and Kim Churchill, plus a turn at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Whether you’ve been following along since the early days or you’re about to hear him for the first time, this is a chance to catch a homegrown artist up close in a small room before the album drops.
