Born and raised in New England, Ben honed his craft there and in Upstate New York playing locally, then spent seven years in Austin, TX touring and recording before settling in Los Angeles. Once there, he worked his way up through the music scene, emerging as a reliable, professional sideman with his own style, both musically and visually, one that elevates the band around him without stealing focus.

He has toured all over the world with Mindi Abair, Zero Theorem, Warren Hill, Magnetico, and American Idol’s Olivia Rox, among many others. His passion has driven him, his work ethic and playing have proven him, and his easy-going nature has helped pave the way to the spot where he now stands.
