The artist
Benjo is an Austin-based recording artist and live act: hook-driven rock with Australian roots, built for streaming, radio, and rooms that fill. SXSW 2026 with Benjo & The Fonts.
He arrives with infrastructure most debuts do not have. Songwriting Sanctuary is his paid membership community in the Live Music Capital of the World, scaling nationally on camera. That is a built-in audience, not a cold start.
Behind the music: award-winning documentary filmmaker (Love Back to Country, Best International Documentary Short · AIFF 2026). Sanctuary Road films the community and the artist across 5,000 miles, with a 2027 festival path.
Available solo acoustic and full band. Festivals, venues, private events. Coffee Shop drops June 29 ahead of the road.

long-form bio +
Australian roots, global miles, Austin as home base. Benjo makes hook-forward rock for playlists, press, and stages that fill.
Songwriting Sanctuary began as a grassroots circle in Austin and is now a paid membership community with national reach. The artist and the room rise together.
Sanctuary Road: seven songwriters, 54 days, national parks, Sanctuary gatherings, and a documentary short bound for the 2027 festival circuit. Benjo & The Fonts on the bus.
Documentary work includes Love Back to Country (AIFF 2026) and Sanctuary Road in production. Film and music share the same through-line: community, craft, and the road.
The room
Songwriting Sanctuary gathers Austin's most committed writers monthly. Paid membership, live programming, and a grassroots circle scaling nationally on film.
For partners and labels, that means an artist who can activate an audience, not just post to one.
The road
July through early September: Benjo & The Fonts cross the American West with seven songwriters, 5,000 miles, Sanctuary events, and a documentary short targeting the 2027 festival circuit. Sponsorship and partnership enquiries welcome.
