Fans of Dudley Benson's groundbreaking live performances now have the chance to relive the experience, with 'Live Series: Volume One' - a deluxe 2CD live album recorded on his two acclaimed nationwide tours.
The 2008 'The Awakening' tour took the melancholic beauty of his chamber-pop debut album into a series of churches for the first of this 2 disc set: The Awakening Live was recorded in the breathtaking acoustics of St Matthew-in-the-City, Auckland.
Disc Two: 'Forest Live' was recorded during the 2010 'Live with The Dawn Chorus' tour at Waitakere's Oratia Settlers Hall. Most of the songs are from Benson's 'Forest: Songs by Hirini Melbourne' album - later nominated for the 2011 Taite Music Prize. Like the album, the tour featured only the human voice, with Benson and his alt-barbershop quartet alongside champion trans-Tasman beatboxer Hopey One.
Packaged in 350 gsm cardboard wallet with six artwork card series by Nigel Brown. Amazingly, you can choose whichever painting you'd like most for the cover by slipping the card into slits on the wallet's blank front panel!
