Alice Springs musician Ben Slip The Slipsta will perform at the Sydney Blues n Roots Festival on October 27.
He will be part of a big line-up of prominent musicians, including Johnny Diesel (formerly with the Injectors), Russell Morris and Ash Grunwald.
Born and bred in Alice, Ben lit his musical fire playing the pubs and festivals, says his web CV, recording at his home and professional studios.
“My lyrics are a story across life, living my dream and current world issues,” he says.
He’ll present a combination of “Groovy acoustic guitar, Telecaster Licks, vocals and drum beats, base guitar and keys.
“The magic of my day is composing and recording my songs with happening melodies, lyrics, grunge n beats.
“In my live show I play my acoustic lefty and telecaster guitars with my backing band in a box.”
