Subscriber only Fan favourite Ben Brady will return to the main stage for Agnes Blues, Roots and Rock Festival 2021. No stranger to performing, Ben lives for busking and performing anywhere from stages to streets across Australia. As a solo performer, Ben uses emotion to bring his audiences on a journey through every note and screaming riffs. Ben believes music is not art, but a drug that everyone needs in order to live. He combines his heavy slide guitar, harmonica and foot stomping into a melodic, soft-spoken folk performance. Ben will join 8 Ball Aitken, Hayley Marsten, Kate Mahood, Gypsy Rumble, and Hat Fitz & Cara who will all play at the Marquee Stage.
