Little did we know that when we asked Ben Witt to do a guest spot at an event recentlyy that he would end up working here! Ben is an incredible young local artist and when he told us he was looking for a few days a week we jumped at it. Ben studied contemporary music at WAPPA and has been busy as the songwriter, guitarist & vocalist of local band The Chemist who have received extensive airplay on triple J, toured nationally with acts such as Boy & Bear and Birds of Tokyo, and were runners up in the International Songwriting competition in the rock category last year. Ben has also been hired as a session guitarist for high profile acts including the Aria award winning Bob Evans & Megan Washington. You may see him playing a Fender Telecaster or a Godin 5th Avenue through a Fender Blues deluxe, and is known to indulge in the experimental possibilities his pedals can offer. We are pleased to have his enthusiasm & expertise on board... drop in & say "Hi" next time you're going past!
