Ben Abraham
Frontier Touring is proud to present award-winning Melbourne-raised, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Ben Abraham, returning home this December for two exclusive headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne: Ben Abraham’s Christmas Special.
Joined by special guests on stage, fans can catch the in-demand songwriter performing at the Metro Theatre, Sydney, on Wednesday 18 December and Forum Melbourne on Friday 20 December with a captivating two and a half hour show.
Renowned for his talent for pairing profoundly personal lyrics with soulful and cinematic indie folk with electronic flourishes, as heard on tracks such as ‘Never Been Better’, ‘If I Didn’t Love You’, ‘This Is On Me – ft. Sara Bareilles’ and more, Ben’s annual Christmas shows are not to be missed. Starting the night with his full band performing original music, fans can expect an indie ‘carols by candlelight’ second set featuring a few special guests (past alumni including the likes of Vance Joy and Gotye).
After years of working as a songwriter for other artists – including co-writing Kesha’s double-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated smash hit ‘Praying’ – Abraham released his sophomore album, Friendly Fire, in 2022. Labelled “spectacular” by website Essentially Pop, the record captured Abraham’s journey of losing faith after a painful breakup. 2024 has been a year of new beginnings: newly independent, Ben is excited to be releasing new music... some of which fans may get to hear at these special shows.
Don’t miss the one and only Ben Abraham, when he returns home to Melbourne and Sydney this December!
