BEN Salter is coming to Scotland.
The Australian singer-songwriter will be performing at The Old Hairdresser’s in Glasgow on July 20 and at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh on July 22.
Salter, based in Tasmania, has toured the world for nearly 20 years, both solo and as a member of The Wilson Pickers, The Gin Club, Giants of Science and Hownowmer. He returns to the UK and Europe this summer in support of his most recent album, Back Yourself.
Salter’s distinctive, emotive voice is regularly cited as the one of the best in Australia. His performances highlight his storytelling, humour and sincerity, while his recordings experiment with a diversity of styles from acoustic ballads to indie-rock, avant garde soundscapes to instrumentals. His idiosyncratic and literary style is in the tradition of songwriters John Cale, Robert Wyatt and David Byrne, and he draws inspiration from the likes of The Velvet Underground, Roy Orbison, The Ink Spots and Low.
