Ben Abraham’s Christmas Special

Ben Abraham is an award-winning L.A.-based singer/songwriter from Melbourne, Australia. His 2014 self-released debut LP Sirens earned widespread critical praise, leading to a 2016 reissue via indie label Secretly Canadian. Featuring appearances from Sara Bareilles and Gotye, the album was hailed by the New York Times as “a debut of remarkable depth.”

In 2019, Abraham supported Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award-winner Ben Platt on his 2019 headline
tour – a North American run that followed Abraham’s co-writing several songs on Platt’s debut solo
album, Sing to Me Instead.

Ben’s sophomore album, Friendly Fire (Atlantic), presented a selection of songs that speak to the
undeniable possibility for rebirth after incredible loss and pain. Released in 2022, it revealed Ben’s
extraordinary gift for songwriting that he’s honed for much of his life and spotlights the cinematic yet
emotionally raw sensibilities he’s long showcased while penning songs for artists like Kesha, Demi Lovato
and The Chicks.

Following the high praise of Friendly Fire, Ben released a cover of “Song Beneath the Song,” which was
featured in the soundtrack of hit television show Grey’s Anatomy. Ben embarked on a 10-show headlining
tour through the US and UK in the Summer of 2022. 2023 saw the release of “Never Been Better,” a
song that perfectly captures Ben’s knack for weaving wit and vulnerability into infectious melodies.
An avid lover of all things Christmas, Ben has made it a tradition to perform a series of Christmas Shows
in select cities each winter, with 2024 marking his 14th year. In tandem with this year’s annual shows in
New York, Los Angeles, Melbourne and Sydney, he released an EP titled, “Merry Christmas and Happy
Holidays Volume 1”, featuring “Let It Snow”, a duet with friend and collaborator Lily James.
