BENNO’S BIG
SING
ONE VOICE, ONE GUITAR, THREE HUNDRED SONGS & NO

DRUM MACHINE

THE GOLD COAST’S MOST VERSATILE SINGER /

GUITARIST

You’ve seen ‘em around town… those singer/guitarists or singer/piano players who sit down (or stand up) with
their instrument and when they start playing – there’s a whole damn 10-piece band! Drums, bass, lead guitar,
strings, horns, saxophone, the female backing vocalists—everything but the canned applause! (Actually, I’ve seen
one guy who had that too!) You have to admit, it’s kind of “Claytons” live music. At best it can be over-produced
or a little robotic. At its worst, it’s glorified Karaoke or just a mime festival.
If you want real “solo artist” live music, fresh and spontaneous, then you’ll love Benno’s Big Sing.
Benno is Chris Bent, lead singer of Gold Coast covers band ROCKKS and music industry veteran. Benno’s extensive
experience, versatile vocal ability and huge repertoire combine to enable him to deliver an entertaining
performance to satisfy a broad range of audience age groups.
While many singer/guitarists seem to get stuck in the 70’s & 80’s, Benno’s long career as a performer and record
company executive has kept him in touch with the best music from each of the last four decades. That includes
melodic, acoustic versions of many recent pop/radio hits. “A great song is a great song” and a genuine, heartfelt
performance will always let the song shine and remind you of why you loved that track in the first place.
Because Benno isn’t locked into backing tracks and rigid arrangements, he uses his experience to read the
audience and serve up a smorgasbord of great songs to suit that particular crowd at that venue on that night. In
fact, if you give Benno an idea upfront of some songs or music genres that work best in your venue, he can tailor
the show further to your specific needs.
Benno has performed his unique combination of classics & current hits at many of the most popular Gold Coast &
Tweed Coast venues including Coolangatta Sands Hotel, Club Helensvale, RSL Southport, Kingscliff Beach Bowls,
Cabarita Sports, Tweed Heads Bowls, Canungra Hotel, Runaway Bay Seagulls, Burleigh Bears and more.
This talented performer is now available for your venue or next function.
So if you love to hear genuine live, acoustic versions of great songs from the 60’s to Now by Neil Diamond, Bruce
Springsteen, Pearl Jam, The Eagles, Cold Chisel, Glen Campbell, U2, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, The Script and so many
more….
You’ll love Benno’s Big Sing.
