Ben is a veteran of the Portland, Oregon, music scene. He has played just about every style:
Avant-garde rock with Souseloaf, Bluegrass with Redwood Highway and The Josh Cole Band, Country with Hank Plank and the 2x4s, Folk music with The Wags, Jazz with Trash Can Joe and... Gypsy swing with The Djangophiles.
Ben's long-time love for gypsy jazz has led him to focus on gypsy swing. His long-term goals with this style include starting a program of string jazz in the Montgomery County Public School system.
