Artist History Ben is a singer-songwriter from Virginia Beach. His passion for the guitar began when, as a child, he discovered an out of tune, rusty-string acoustic in his uncle’s closet. That guitar was old and beat up, but the sound of vibrating steel and wood made a deep impression. By high school, Ben was playing lead guitar in rock bands. During college and beyond, he continued as a guitarist in bands around the Hampton Roads area, but now he has laid down the electric and returned to the pure sounds of the acoustic.
