Chris Bent

Shout out a song and Chris Bent will often play it right there. The Gold Coast singer accompanies himself on guitar, so requests can land mid-set without a band needing to learn anything. His range covers country and pop, rock and pop rock, and the country rock that sits between them. The sets are acoustic and close, the kind of music that feels personal in a smaller room. He gives the familiar songs his own style rather than copying the records, so no two nights come out quite the same. Guests who like calling out their favourites will keep him busy at a backyard birthday or a low-key reception.
