Port Macquarie local Benje Travis has announced the released of his debut single “Another Day”. A tune that hits all the right notes and deserves to be in the conversation as the perfect singalong summer track providing a satiating break from the long and miserable winter months.

Benje Travis has just been signed to Red Earth Records, which according to the label, seeks to represent the aesthetics and atmosphere of the solo artist and acoustic guitar-playing culture that has long been an integral part of Port Macquarie music.

The emerging contemporary indie folk singer-songwriter and guitarist, entrances audiences with his incredible voice and compelling tapestries of acoustic compositions. You could say a pure folk troubadour whose intimate performances fill rooms with sounds of musical poetry.

Benje’s song writing is raw and emotional, captivating, often dark and sometimes funny and accompanied by breezy sounds which serve to lighten melancholic moods and poignant lyrics.

His one man show is beguiling and brilliant to hear and watch, as Benje uses his musicianship as a vehicle to talk to people about his acoustic “Earth Love Gang” movement.

Born in Surry Hills, Benje started playing guitar at a very young age and started writing his own songs at eleven. Raised by a music loving mother who exposed him to singer-songwriter artists from the sixties and seventies at an early age, he was subsequently strongly influenced by Bob Marley and the reggae movement.

Playing guitar and stomp box, Benje Travis captures audience emotions and breaks away from the structural norms of live performance. “Sometimes one song will turn into two or two songs into one. I like to feel my way through rather than have a ridged plan. So sometimes I’ll play guitar and then swap to keyboards, depends where the mood is.” With an impressive number of shows now under his belt, the years highlights have been the Wildwood Music Festival and Port Macquarie’s Tastings on the Hastings, seeing him play to over 2000 people and alongside artists such as Montaigne and Blue King Brown.

His latest outpouring of creativity has resulted in a debut EP to be released early in 2017 along with  “Another Day” as a preview, stand alone single.

“I’ve been recording solidly for the past few weeks and I’m focused on intense sounds, emotions and melodies. INSERT ANOTHER DAY QUOTE”

Benje Travis has the wariness of a social and spiritual outsider who broods his way to graceful defiance. His songs will attach themselves to your heart strings.
