Ben Craven - First Chance To Hear

To celebrate the release of my album “Last Chance To Hear“ in March 2016, I held a launch party at the Caxton Hotel in Brisbane. A small room was booked upstairs and everyone was invited. I had no band at my disposal. Even if I had, the rehearsal effort required would have been the equivalent of going on tour. I briefly considered playing a solo acoustic show but thought it would be more fun to present a virtual band performance. Armed with backing tracks for drums, bass and occasional keyboards - plus the disembodied voice of William Shatner - the show was billed as “Ben Craven & Friends“. With a handful of cameras and audio feeds, the entire show was captured for the high-definition blu-ray release, “First Chance To Hear“. The audio has been remixed in 24-bit stereo and 5.1 surround. Some of the lighting and camerawork is not completely perfect, so I’m calling this an “official bootleg”! 1. Ready To Lose 06:46 2. Critical Mass Part 2 03:37 3. The Remarkable Man 05:04 4.
