Kevin Bennett & the Flood
He has co-written with many successful Australian and International songwriters such as Keith Urban, Mick Jones (Foreigner), The Veronicas and Brooke McClymont (The McClymonts). In 2019 Glenn had a great time at TCMF and a lot of laughs performing with Luke O'Shea & Andrew Swift in Luke's Songwriters in the Round.
Glenn has released several albums including Seven Seconds and Songs In Black & White as well as the Last Chance Café EP and the Kerosene country rock album, Art Of Survival. His newly released album Lifeblood is another collection of brilliantly written and arranged songs. The title track Lifeblood, co-written by Glenn and his partner Lorraine, is an anthemic contemporary song for those in drought and those who care.
Mick has performed in numerous events connecting with the audience not only as a brilliant performer but as an entertainer. Working as a professional singer since 1995 he has worked with artists such as Human Nature, Dragon front man Mark Williams, Rose Tattoo front man Angry Anderson, Singer Jacky Love, Guitar Vertuoso: Bruce Mathiske and regulary performs with 'A' Grade session guitarist Peter Northcote.
Mick performs on a regular basis with his band and various other set ups in venues around the country.
He is an Aria nominee and winner of 6 x CMAA Gold Guitar ….2006 (with The Flood for Best Group), 2011(with Kasey Chambers for Vocal Collaboration), 2017 (with Bennett, Bowtell and Urquhart for Best Alternative Album and Best Group and in 2019 for Vocal Collaboration) and, most recently, with The Flood (for Best Group) at the 2020 Gold Guitar Awards.
He writes relevant, contemporary Australian music containing elements of Country, Blues and Rock - telling stories of where he's from and where he might be going, his past and his possible future….he sings his life.
The Flood has recorded 6 universally acclaimed albums including 'The Ballad Of KB', which was named in Iain Shedden's Top Twenty Australian Country Albums of all time, while Rhythms magazine calls The Flood 'the best Australian Roots band since The Dingoes.'
So whether it's solo, with The Flood or Bennett, Bowtell& Urquhart, KB is still making music that needs to be heard.
The Flood line-up for the Fig is KB (Vox/Guitar), Gary Carruthers (Guitar/Banjo/Mandolin/Harmonica/Vox), Wayne 'Killer' Kellett (Bass/Vox) and Mik McCartin (Drums/Vox).
