MUSICIAN

Ben has been writing and performing music for more than 15 years since teaching himself on his dad's worn out acoustic.  Born in Duluth, MN, raised in nearby Holyoke and then later just outside of Milwaukee, WI, Ben's Midwestern sensibilities are intact although they certainly don't run the show.  His lyrics balance kinetic spontaneity and emotion with an often decidedly simple musicality.  As Ben Williams processes his experience and sets the dial to "musical output", it's definitely worth listening in.

Ben has four years of private vocal training in jazz, classical and contemporary styles.  He is otherwise a self-taught musician, mingling acoustic guitar with his lyrical blend of folk, rock, alternative and indie sounds.

His second album, an EP, is set for release this spring.
