'Post Tour Depression is Real' with Benny Clark

Benny Clark is a Professional musician based on Wurundjeri country in Narrm (Melbourne) touring with the likes of Baker Boy and many more. Outside of a rockstar lifestyle which people think he leads, Benny has spent 16 years working with high risk adolescents and adults, on many settings such as after hours crisis response and outreach, youth and adult prisons. Benny’s main response of work is based around therapeutic models, brain development and childhood trauma. In this episode we discuss a perception of what people think being on tour with some of Australia's biggest bands brings and delve into what its like leading a double life. Living one life and having to turn the other on or off between touring and his other passion through his work with high risk adolescents and adults. We hear about his proud roots and strength of the Aboriginal community in the political sense and history of what it gives Benny in the way of having fought for so long for so many rights - that it gives him a purpose knowing he is here for a reason and through his work, knows there is a bigger picture.
