with special Guests
It’s beginning to look a lot like ... Ben Abraham!
The Old Museum is delighted to announce the return of award-winning Melbourne-raised, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter, who brings his beloved Christmas Special home this December for an unmissable headline show.
Catch the acclaimed artist – whose heart-on-sleeve storytelling has earned him praise from The New York Times and collaborations with the likes of Sara Bareilles, Kesha, Gotye and Demi Lovato – when he lights up The Old Museum on Saturday 20 December at 8pm.
Joined by a few surprise guests (previous years have featured appearances from Vance Joy, Gotye and more), Ben’s Christmas Special is split into two sets: the first showcasing the singer’s own original music – from fan favourites such as ‘Never Been Better’ and ‘If I Didn’t Love You’, to songs from his 2022 album, Friendly Fire – and the second half a delightfully unpredictable indie ‘carols by candlelight’ spectacular.
A gifted storyteller with a cinematic touch, Ben first captured hearts with his self-released debut album Sirens – later reissued by indie label Secretly Canadian and hailed by The New York Times as “a debut of remarkable depth.” This set Ben on a path that would see him co-write the GRAMMY-nominated hit ‘Praying’ for Kesha and craft songs for artists such as Demi Lovato and The Chicks.
In 2024, Ben released his festive EP Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Volume 1, featuring a lush rendition of ‘Let It Snow’ with longtime friend and collaborator Lily James, alongside a string of sold-out Christmas concerts across New York, Los Angeles, Melbourne and Sydney.
