As a Texas born Portland, Maine songwriter, Ben's music is reflective of the Texas songwriting tradtion that bred in alternative country, americana, folk rock genres.
As an accomplished fingerstyle and lead guitarist, orchestrator and lyricist, Ben's songs pose an insightfully realistic, yet optomistic scene of the world and the American experience.

Your influences?
Van Morrison, The Kinks, old Neil Young, recent Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovett, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Russell, John Prine, Merle Haggard and dozens of others... the list goes on for miles... its all about the songwriting.
Equipment used:
