Sydney newcomer Ben Direen has been testing out a number of spots around Redfern in recent months and is enjoying the busking experience.
“Redfern’s relaxed cafe culture sits well with my style of music,” Ben said. “It’s inspired me to begin working on some originals that I hope to record in the new year.”
Ben’s extensive repertoire includes songs by artists such as Cold Chisel, Blondie, Paul Kelly and Alex Lloyd. His arrangements for solo acoustic guitar and vocals (with tambourine) are smooth and mellow – very apt for summer days in the city.
