Happy November everyone! This Thursday, November 15 I'll be curating another of my semi-annual "Ben Cook-Feltz And... Friends?" events, this time at the marvelous Hook & Ladder Theater!

M French, Becky Kapell, Mother Banjo, Haley Rydell, Jillian Rae, Art Vandalay, Dougs Collins and Otto, Brent Fuqua, Caiti Allison and more! Plus two different incarnations of the BCF Band. Best part?

BCF Out Now!!!!

Oct 31, 2018

Hey guys! We made a new record! It's called BCF, and I'm quite proud of it. The goal was to recreate the atmosphere of a regular BCF rock show - so to that end, we recorded as much of it live as we could, and I gathered a whole bunch of my musical friends to join in on the fun! (Including but not limited to Doug Otto, Joe Olsen, Sarah Morris, Mother Banjo, Jillian Rae, Caiti Allison and Doc.) It was a lot of fun to make, and my only hope is it's a lot of fun to listen to! You can find the album on my Music page, or all the other regular streaming/purchasing services. Enjoy!

"Local Music Scene" Article On The Current Blog

Jan 26, 2018

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take part in a fun show hosted by the Local Music Scene, an improv troupe in Minneapolis. I talked a bit about myself and played a few of my songs, and the troupe took turns making up skits inspired by my lyrics. It was a lot of fun, and unbeknownst to me, a blogger from The Current was present and wrote a really nice article about the show! You can read the article HERE!

The Local Music Scene performs monthly at the Bryant Lake Bowl, the second Friday of the month. I highly recommend you check them out, it's a really good time. Cheers!

House Of Mercy - Brand New Song!

Aug 3, 2017

Hey all! It's been a while since I've checked in with you, I'm sorry about that. So I recently had the pleasure of performing a Sunday service at House of Mercy in St. Paul, and for the occasion I performed a brand new song called "Holy Water." You can give the tune a listen HERE!! And stay tuned, we're going into the studio later this Fall to cut a brand new EP, which will include this very song. And you can say you heard it here first! Or, there first. And, you weren't really the first to hear the song. . . but all the same, you heard it early, and that's pretty cool!
