Australian songwriter and performer Ben Salter is doing a three month tour starting in September and encompassing Japan, Australia & NZ. Accompanying him on stage will be seasoned Tasmanian songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Jethro Pickett. They’ll be supported along the way by their friend and neighbour, Warren Mason, a proud First Nations songwriter and founder of Tin Camp Studios. The three of them will drive from Perth to Brisbane in a hire car, via SA, VIC, ACT and NSW. Then Salter and Pickett will continue on to New Zealand.
Ben Salter is one of Australia’s most highly regarded performers and songwriters. He makes eclectic, esoteric music that defies easy classification, drawing on elements of indie rock, folk, jazz, electronica, country and beyond whilst maintaining a coherent and inimitable melodic style that coalesces around Salter's powerful and emotive voice.
Salter has written and/or collaborated with artists including Marlon Williams, Vika & Linda Bull, Gareth Liddiard (The Drones/Tropical Fuck Storm), Emily Wurramara, Robert Scott (The Clean, The Bats), Mike Watt(The Minutemen, Porno For Pyros, The Stooges), Tim Rogers (You Am I), Liz Stringer, Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger), Julien Wilson, Kirin J. Callinan, Mick Thomas (Weddings, Parties, Anything) and Dan Kelly. As well as this, in June 2021 Vika & Linda Bull released Salter’s ‘My Heart Is In The Wrong Place’, as one of two singles from their sophomore album “The Wait”. It was written by Salter specifically for the duo.
