Ben Walker is returning to Humph Hall. Is he folk? Is he country? Is he roots music? He’s all of those things - and none of them.
Like Paul Kelly, Ben Walker is a songwriter. Nothing more. Nothing less. Words and melodies are what matter to him. And then singing those songs to you. Visit his Facebook page.
Joining Ben is Kane Vincent. Keenly observant, Kane draws lyrical inspiration from both the mundane and the extraordinary. His songs blend a folk/pop sensibility with a soulful edge, more than a hint of country, and a familiar nod to the blues. Visit his website.

“Ben’s music holds a truth in it that connects and resonates with people, whatever seems to be going on in their lives. His lyrics are modern day poetry put to music.” - Rachal, Professional Vocalist
“The recordings of those songs on this album straddle many musical styles. Are they folk? Are they country? Does it really matter? They fall under a broad umbrella of music which is held together by a couple of essential tenants – they are beautiful written (and sung) observations on life, times and the emotions that we all experience. They rank amongst some of the finest examples of song writing coming from this country. In the same way that the likes of Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers, Don Walker, Julia Jacklin, and Grace Cummings aren’t labelled with a musical category – they’re simply known as great songwriters – nor should Ben Walker. He’s a writer of songs. That’s what he does.” - Stuart Coupe
