Ben Wright Smith Drops Album & Massive Tour

After much anticipation, Melbourne indie-folk songsmith Ben Wright Smith has finally released his debut album ‘The Great Divorce’.

He’s been turning heads ever since hit 2015 hit No-one and the infectious single Sand Grabber, his first full-length offering delivers everything we’ve come to love from the hairy gent.

The debut album from the APRA award nominated singer-songwriter was produced by Holy Holy guitarst Oscar Dawson and features collaborations with Ali Barter, Tyler Millott (Husky), Jesse Williams (Leah Senior, Girlatones), and Andrew Braidner (Stonefield).

The result of a two-year writing and recording effort is a diverse collection of up-tempo indie-folk songs charged with pop hooks and instrumental flair.

“As we keep performing I think new elements and sounds begin to take hold. These ones tell the story of how I was feeling at the time,” says Ben Wright Smith.

Smith has announced a huge tour in support of the album’s release, so check out Sand Grabber and his tour dates below!
