SO EXCITED to share this one...

Returning for his 6th New Zealand tour from Western Australia, catch Ben Catley’s mesmerising guitar show live back in Raglan at Raglan Old School Arts Centre!

With virtuoso acoustic guitar playing, big bluesy vocals and an ecstatic stage presence, Ben pours every ounce of his soul into his live show. Having toured all across Aus, NZ & the UK many times over, he captivates audiences like few other solo artists.

With flavours of blues/roots/rock/folk, Ben weaves between huge upbeat energy and atmospheric soundscapes, creating a diverse show of guitar craftsmanship. His live show has become renowned for its finger-tapping guitar style, blistering riffs and driving grooves.

Performing on stages at the likes of Australia’s famous Bluesfest Byron Bay, Ben has played at many huge international festivals across the world featuring the likes of The Doobie Brothers, Crowded House, Xavier Rudd, John Butler, Groove Armada and many more.

“A virtuoso guitarist… Captivating skills both vocally and on guitar.” Xpress Mag

JOE WILSON
Joe is a local singer-songwriter who has been writing original material for over 13 years. Having been inspired by the likes of Jackson Browne, Ryan Adams and Bernard Fanning, he spent 5 years busking his way around Australia and the UK honing his craft as a songwriter and performer. These days he is less of a performer and more of a song-writer. But with a collection of songs written over the past year, Joe is ready to perform locally again and share some of his new creations.
Expect acoustic, heartfelt songs interspersed with Northern British humour / waffle.

MOXIE
Moxie is Monica and Bexie and their friends. Monica and Bexie have picked up their childhood instruments and are playing some of their favourite songs in their own way. They seem to have a real penchant for love songs and crush energy.

ROSS WILLIAM IVAN
A singer-songwriter from Northern Ireland with music that draws on the storytelling aspects across multiple genres. A fun-loving character whose performance will get you tapping your toes in time.
