Hey guys! Welcome to my website! For those of you who don’t know me – I’m Ben! I’m a Twin Cities-based singer, songwriter, drummer, keyboardist and part-time Godzilla enthusiast. I perform out a lot, be it in service of my own music, or supporting other fine folk around town. In short, you’ve probably seen me, you might not know my name, and now you do! You can click on the links above to get all the fascinating details about what I’m currently up to.
Hello there! It's been a little while! Terribly sorry for the absence, I'd say there's a myriad of reasons, but really it's because I'm a dad now. I know, I know, "Awwwww" and all that mushy stuff. (Tell you the truth, it really is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, and I've been privy to some great things.)
But that's neither here nor there! Of current importance is this - I'm releasing a new album on November 22! Or, rather, a sort-of-new album. It's called "The Iowa Years," and it's a collection of songs I wrote and recorded while I was still living in (you guessed it) Iowa, circa 2001 - 2004. As my wife calls it, this is "proto-BCF." Anyway, I'm releasing it on cassette, with a fun little party at The Warming House. Doug Collins is opening, and I've put together a fun combo for the night, which includes my dear friend and Iowa-era collaborator, Justin Baumgartner. It's going to be a lot of fun!
You can get your tickets HERE! Admission is $10, and includes a copy of the cassette. And don't worry, it'll also be available on all the regular streaming/mp3 services. Hope to see you there!
