Undercover is Benny Walker’s latest offering – an EP of epic proportions kicking off with the stellar track Stay In My Arms.

Winner of the Best Aboriginal Act of the Year 2016, the Yorta Yorta singer/songwriter Benny Walker worked with Jan Skubiszewski on the EP to achieve a balance between instruments and contemporary production.

“Jan and I are both big fans of old blues and soul music,” says Walker. “So we used those influences as the platform for the EP.”

Ghost, the first single from the EP, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Blues chart and #2 on the Amrap Regional chart. The track singles out the greedy short-sighted people ruining the world. Undercover Of My Skin speaks about living as an Aboriginal with lighter skin and Walker’s experiences of racism.

Coinciding with the release Walker has announced an intimate tour which will take him through Melbourne, Geelong, Castlemaine, Echuca, Canberra and other regional locations.
