Melbourne born and bred, Ben Antoniadis has been writing songs most of his life. Mining the heavens for that one golden rhyme, for that one melody line to keep a soul company on the long, lonesome road.

With family roots in the Greek island of Icaria and the North of England, Antoniadis sings of life lived, souls lost and found, dreams run aground. Sometimes a flight too close to the sun, sometimes a descent deep into the underground, though always a light of hope up ahead.

Antoniadis will perform songs from his latest album, “Mad Season” (2024), among others.

Kye Arnot is a 19 year old Singer-Songwriter living in the Yarra Valley. He found his love for music during lockdown, where he taught himself how to play guitar and sing, and used it as a way to turn his poetry into song.

Kye is new to the Melbourne music scene, and can’t wait to share his stories to The Drunken Poet crowd through his music.
