| 1:00pm | 4:00pm | Ben Jansz @ Ellis Beach Bar & Grill |
It's Sunday Live Music at Ellis Beach Bar & Grill 1pm - 4pm with Ben Jansz! Expect a rich mix of Aussie Roots & Blues, Folk Rock, and Tribal Trance. As a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Ben delivers an immersive, rhythm-driven performance that feels both ancient and raw. Through intimate, vulnerable storytelling, Ben explores mental illness, emotional despair, heartache, hope, and celebration. His music is an invitation to journey inward, to connect deeply with others, and to surrender to the pure, life-affirming joy of sound, story, and community. A tidal wave of rhythm and sound that feels almost impossible to come from a single human.
