Ben brings musical influences from the west-coast back to the midwest.
Ben has been fortunate in having opportunities to travel, play, and record with musicians from Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles. He is relatively genre-fluid, and pulls inspiration from his environment and the goings-on in the world around us.
“I’d never know to love without the pain I’m feeling now - I know I’d know neither if you’d never come around.”
“Life is Violent”
