WAMFest Focus: Ben Catley

Answered by: Ben Catley

Give us a short description of your music: Upbeat, gritty acoustic blues and roots with high-tempo foot stomping, lively guitar playing and powerful vocals.

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Supporting Ash Grunwald just recently was a highlight for sure, and touring over east with Kallidad was a great step.  

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? It has broken me.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from WAMFest? How to be more efficient with promoting and tour bookings etc would be good.

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at WAMFest? Bob Log III, Soukouss Internationale, Beni Bjah and The Metal Showcase, hopefully.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at WAMFest? For just one guy on stage, I'd like to think my energy is pretty huge. 

When and where is your WAMFest gig? 4 Nov, Indi Bar
