NO CHARTS . NO SAFETY NETS . JUST BLUES
While based in the long standing traditions of blues jams, ‘Blues Roulette’ puts a unique spin on those traditions by placing Australia’s best known blues artists on the spot in front of the Roulette rhythm section to create a one time only performance based in the moment.
With humble beginnings at Melbourne venue ‘The Catfish’, the popularity of Blues Roulette and the nature of those ‘one night only’ performances have resulted in appearances at festivals and venues across the country, special themed events, national tours and CD recordings.
As an artist, primarily on bass guitar, Ben Wicks has performed and/or recorded with the likes of Dan Sultan, Lloyd Spiegel, Jeff Lang and Irish Mythen.
Through Roulette, Ben has become a sought after promoter and agent. His credits include tours for Geoff Achison, the Kings and Queens East Coast tour and The Three Gringos among others.
Expanding on his industry skills, he is currently producing albums for Australian blues artists and facilitating their branding and merchandise concepts.
