Directly after performing at Australia’s famous BLUESFEST Byron Bay (featuring Earth Wind & Fire, Split Enz, Counting Crows…), Ben Catley returns for his 5th tour of New Zealand, bringing his high-energy, virtuoso guitar show to Monkey House Theatre, Whitianga.

With mesmerising acoustic guitar playing, big bluesy vocals and an ecstatic stage presence, Ben Catley pours every ounce of his soul into his live show. Having toured all across Australia, New Zealand and the UK many times over, he captivates audiences like few other solo artists.

His live show has become renowned for its finger-tapping guitar style, blistering riffs and driving grooves. With flavours of blues/roots/rock/folk, Ben weaves between both atmospheric soundscapes and huge upbeat energy, creating a diverse show of guitar craftsmanship.

He has performed on many huge international festival lineups across the world featuring the likes of The Doobie Brothers, Crowded House, Xavier Rudd, John Butler, Groove Armada and many more. He has also released tracks featuring Wim Hof, Ash Grunwald & Tijuana Cartel, and recently had his music licensed for a worldwide Ford campaign.
