Inertia and The Frontier Touring Company are pleased to announce that ARIA Award-winning artist Ben Lee will be performing a series of intimate shows in Melbourne, Ballarat, Moorooduc, Brisbane, Sydney and Wollongong.
One of Australia's most prolific and accomplished singer/songwriters, Ben Lee will showcase brand new material from his sixth solo album ‘Ripe’ (available now on Inertia Recordings). Fans can look forward to hearing the sweetly-composed pop sounds of a polished artist, who has been honing his craft since signing his first record deal at the tender age of 14.
Since those early days, Lee has taken the Australian music industry by storm. His 1999 album ‘Breathing Tornadoes’ contained the breakthrough single “Cigarettes Will Kill You”, which hit #2 in that year's Triple J Hottest 100. In 2005, the breakthrough album ‘Awake Is The New Sleep’ won four ARIA awards including Best Single for “Catch My Disease”, which was also awarded Best Single at the APRAs. The “catchy” single was heard everywhere from TV show Grey's Anatomy to a massive Dell computer TV ad campaign, making Lee an international sensation.
The new album ‘Ripe’ features collaborations with high-profile artists such as Mandy Moore and Benji Madden of Good Charlotte, but Lee is no stranger to mixing it with high profile artists - he can also list a duet with Kylie Minogue on his resume, as well as popular collaborative effort The Bens with Ben Kweller and Ben Folds.
The debut single from ‘Ripe’, “Love Me Like The World Is Ending” was the 2nd most added song to Australian radio in the week of its release, according to The Music Network. As the phenomenon that is Ben Lee sweeps it way around the East Coast, only a lucky few will get to experience these personal performances. Get tickets fast, as these shows are sure to sell out!
Lee's success has turned into a worldwide epidemic, attracting praise across Europe and the US.
DAILY TELEGRAPH 4/5 “Lee’s melodies are so instant and infectious, you’ll find yourself humming or whistling along by the second verse… irresistible pop rock gems.”
MUSIC NETWORK “full of iconic, catchy pop songs.”
