REBECCA MOORE plus BENJI AND THE SALTWATER SOUND SYSTEM Live At The Twyford
The Twyford – Hall venue
7.00pm Sat 20 December 2025
Smooth original live alt-rock, blues PLUS coastal world music sounds to get you dancing and into the holiday mood with some of the Sapphire Coast’s most talented musicians and singers!
Rebecca Moore hails from Tathra and is a highly accomplished, award-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her alt-rock and blues music is described as traversing the plains between Led Zeppelin’s ‘Battle of Evermore’ and Stevie Nicks’ ‘Gold Dust Woman’. Rebecca plays piano, guitar and mandolin and will be joined on stage by Anthony Moore (Bass, Guitar), Dean Gray (Guitar) and Jonathan Trevena on drums.
Benji and the Saltwater Sound System fuse Pacific flavours with the raw rolling sounds of the Australian Pacific coast. Add to this the poignant lyrics and a will to transcend genre and you’re part the way there. The band has graced some of Australia’s most iconic stages. Benji Fowler leads on vocals and guitar together with Robyn Martin (Bass), David Ross Macdonald (drums), Mick Elderfield (Sax), Jonothan Dallimore (Guitar) and Nick Garbett (Trumpet).
“Benji and the Saltwater Sound System skilfully blur the lines between genre, sound and style. Their latest record bursts at the seams with a dynamic flavour, making for one damn fine debut.” — Liz Campbell – Happy Mag

BENJI AND THE SALTWATER SOUND SYSTEM
As the saying goes, a dash of salt brings out the best in everything… and when it comes to music it doesn’t get more appetising than Benji and the Saltwater Sound System. Since their formation a couple of years back, this tangy tribe of groove merchants have hit the shoreline swimming.
Like all of the greatest live acts, their sound is ever revolving – responding to the audience and the room, taking bold new turns and venturing into new territory. It was this willingness to grow and develop that led to the band’s infectious debut album, Coming Up for Water, featuring the much loved live favourite Top Bunk Trait – garnished in sweet guitar licks and feet-pounding horns.
Benji and the Saltwater Sound System fuse Pacific flavours with the raw rolling sounds of the Australian Pacific coast. Add to this the poignant lyrics and a will to transcend genre and you’re part the way there. The band has graced some of Australia’s most iconic stages.
Our Live At The Twyford program showcases regional artists playing live original contemporary Australian music and is supported by Live Music Australia, an Australian Government initiative.
