LATEST UPDATE...
Went to the APRA awards last week for my first time. It was an awesome night and I got to have a chat with one of my hero's, Dave Faulkner from HOODOO GURUS among a bunch of other. The highlight was the live performances. ESKIMO JOE kicked off the night with a brilliant version of their single and both COLIN HAY and KATIE NOONAN entranced the audience with simply amazing solo versions of an old and new hit-song respectively.

"Aside from being full of quality music, his album will take you on a journey of self discovery, that is well worth experiencing. What I am most reminded of when listening to his music are those musicians that can only be described as ‘cool’. While ‘cool’ is an adjective that is used to describe pretty much anything and everything, Ben Mitchell shouldn’t be grouped en masse in that way. He is one cool cat in the way that only genuinely old-school soulful musicians can be called (check out ‘Kitty Kat’ in particular and you’ll know exactly what I mean)" QUIET PAWS (Brisbane, AUSTRALIA)

"GO NOW"

"A certain soft David Gray warble to the voice, a hint of early Van in there too perhaps along with names like Ben Harper, Jeff Buckley and Jack Johnson, Melbourne singer-songwriter Mitchell's getting feted as potential next big thing with this debut album."

"Perhaps most surprising is that he has yet to be signed to a major label, but it is unlikely that he will remain homeless for long. Mitchell has a strong voice that adapts well to a number of styles, but it’s his song-writing skills that put him in a league above the litany of anonymous singer-songwriters vying for attention in the wake of the success of David Gray and James Blunt. Mitchell sounds a major talent on this evidence and is well worth keeping an eye on."

"On most of the tracks Mitchell combines the intimacy of Damien Rice with the melody of David Gray. There is a lot to this Australian guy and lot has come out in The Stars Can See. Now it's just waiting for the right people and the big break. "
