Lozz Benson

Lozz Benson leads from behind the kit, singing and drumming at the same time, which is rarer than it sounds and changes how a country band feels on stage. She's a session player first, with credits alongside John Butler Trio, Angus and Julia Stone, Kate Ceberano, Missy Higgins, Jimmy Barnes, Troy Cassar-Daley and The Wiggles, and she was mentored by Keith Urban on The Voice. Her band holds down honky-tonk nights at Jolene's in Sydney. Lineups run from solo, with vocals and acoustic guitar or autoharp, up to a four-piece with pedal steel, and fiddle can be added. The repertoire covers classic and modern country and runs past a hundred songs. She needs power and a rider. The rest she brings.
