Artist History What started on a four-track Tascam in 1995 has evolved into an expensive waste of time costing thousands. Soul Pagoda is Ben's musical alter-ego where no guitar solo is too long and no lyrical subject is taboo, which will eventually get him in trouble with people who don't have a sense of humor or who take things too literally. It's happened before, it'll happen again. There are occasional co-conspirators involved when a live performance situation is uncovered, but thankfully those are rare.

Group Members Ben Guerard (guitar, vocals, piano, drum programming)

Instruments Guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, car keys, beer bottles, empty chinese food containers, rain checks

Albums Nothing beyond free demo CDs.

Press Reviews Not bloody likely. All I know is that Mike Keneally probably uses my demo CD for a coaster.

Location Napa, CA - USA
