Live Series: Volume One

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.
