When Ben was eight years old he found an old Gene Autry guitar in his grandmother's attic that belonged to his father when he was a kid. It only had four strings on it (two were broken) but before long Ben was making up little melodies and discovering the guitar. Four decades later Ben is one of the hottest guitar slingers in Texas. His vocals and guitar playing are as unique as the songs he writes. From Blues to Rock to Americana to even jazz, he adds his own "Texas Style".For over 30 years Ben has been rockin' the state of Texas with his Texas Barbequed Blues that bites like a Diamondback Rattlesnake. But Ben also has a softer side in his music with love songs and ballads that stick very close to the heart. Ben has written and recorded over 700 original songs, and writing more all the time. He delivers his unique bluesy voice conveying his songs about real-life experiences anyone can relate to. Ben's Red-Hot lead guitar solos awe audiences with a soulful, blazing blues style that sizzles like jalepeno peppers in a skillet, but his ballads are filled with melodic phrases and tender lyrics that can tame even the most stringent hearts. The songs he plays and the songs he sings will lift you higher than the Texas skies.
