Seven-year-old Miles Phillips' song 'Eastern Rosellas' has gone viral, with musicians such as Ball Park Music, Meg Washington, and Ben Lee sharing their own renditions.

The pair will perform a two-hour show that features deep cuts, covers, and more.

“Our research has indicated that every time you cheer for an encore, and we do one, we both get a little bit stupider,” Lee said. “So, we are going to be phasing out encores.”

Coming together to release ‘friendly fire’, The Music sits down with FVNERAL’s Tay Blunt and Ben Lee to unpack how their serendipitous friendship came to be, and the tangible allyship that the track represents.

“I’m so excited you guys came. You do these things, and you never know. But you all look so happy.”

Ben Lee has been there and done that when it comes to the Australian music industry, so for his appearance at the Regional & Remote Music Summit, he dug deep into his intimate knowledge of what it's like to hit the road for a tour.

“A lot of people aren’t gonna like it...”

As he prepares to revisit his smash hit fifth album 'Awake Is The New Sleep' for its 20th birthday, Ben Lee discusses the importance of wilderness years in any career arc and how it’s imperative to keep on swinging for the rooftops.

"It’s an album that seemed to change a lot of lives, including mine," Lee said ahead of the tour.
