Presented as A Walker Family Show, the event will also feature the ever graceful and powerful voice of Benny’s cousin Madi Colville-Walker.
Audiences can also enjoy an outdoor fire and barbecue at the much-loved regional arts space. Then, weather permitting, the performance will happen beneath the winter sky outside the gallery, with a cosy indoor setup ready if needed.
A Yorta Yorta man from Echuca, Benny Walker has become one of Australia’s most respected and emotionally compelling live performers, known for blending blues, roots and contemporary soul with deep grooves and heartfelt storytelling.
“Benny Walker is an artist sure to impress our audiences new and old,” the G.R.A.I.N. Store manager Kim Carter said.
“We are thrilled to be welcoming him back to Nathalia with the full band after such a long time and particularly excited about hearing these songs in a regional setting like ours.”
