ELLA HARTWIG & BENNY ELDER

Benny Elder spent his days in the mines and his nights with a guitar and a dream. 

A mechanical engineer by trade but a storyteller by heart, 30 year old Hobart born now Brisbane based musician Benny Elder has taken a leap of faith, and has begun turning his music dreams into reality. At 12 years old he discovered his love for music when gifted Blink 182’s self titled album, however it wasn’t until ten years later he would begin crafting his own songwriting; taking influence from Blink 182 as well as artists like Passenger, Bob Dylan, Chris Stapleton, Machine Gun Kelly, John Mayer, Ed Sheeran & Luke Combs.

Benny Elder is a multi-genre storyteller ready to stand beside the popstars and carve his own story.

Cape York’s singer/songwriter Ella Hartwig blends her folk roots with a hint of country and a twist of pop. Hailing from Cooktown, Far North Queensland (Australia), Ella’s musical journey began at a young age. Internationally acknowledged for her songwriting skills, Ella has garnered significant recognition, including two Queensland Music Award Nominations for songs that she wrote at age thirteen.

Ella’s distinctive sound, often likened to early Missy Higgins, Taylor Swift and Melissa Etheridge reflects her diverse musical influences, including Matchbox Twenty, Paul Kelly, Vance Joy and Sam Fender. However, it is Ella’s unique style and heartfelt lyrics that truly sets her apart, allowing her music to connect with audiences on a deeper level.
