As a professional musician, I have nearly twenty years of experience performing both as a solo artist and in various bands. In addition to my skills on drums, rhythm acoustic guitar, and vocals, I am proud to feature much of my original work on my website. Furthermore, I maintain an extensive list of cover material for private parties, receptions, and other events.
My ultimate goal is to elevate the level of professionalism at every performance, ensuring that everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoys their experience, including those who book my services. Beyond simply learning music, I believe that it is something that inherently exists within one's soul. Both songwriting and performing bring me tremendous joy, and I relish every opportunity to enrich the lives of others through the music I create.

For my husband's 50th birthday, we hosted a gathering of around 70 guests on our pool deck in the backyard, with Ben as our entertainment. Ben was punctual and presented himself in a professional manner. He was also very accommodating and willing to work with us on our music preferences, despite our requests being outside of his usual repertoire. We were seeking background music that the whole party could enjoy, without it becoming a concert. Ben was collaborative, making sure that he was providing what we envisioned. During the latter part of the evening, at our request, the volume was increased, culminating in a finale sing-along to "American Pie" and "Sweet Caroline". Ben's fantastic voice and performance made him a big hit with everyone at the party, and he was without a doubt the highlight of the evening. I would not hesitate to hire him again!

Ben was hired for my brother's wedding reception and his performance was fantastic! Working with him was a breeze as he was extremely professional. He arrived promptly and delivered an outstanding performance. All guests loved his music and he was very flexible during the reception. I highly recommend him!

While searching for musicians for our monthly Yappy Hours at the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare, I came across Ben on CrackerJack. He promptly responded to my "ad" and, being one of the first musicians to do so, we booked him right away. As a nonprofit, we appreciated that Ben worked with us on our budget.
He showed up early on the day of the event and had enough time to set up and start playing by the time our first supporters arrived. His repertoire of songs catered to our diverse demographic of Yappy Hour guests. During the event, Ben seamlessly continued playing after we paused to announce our raffle winners, avoiding any lulls.
Our board members, supporters and staff all praised Ben's talent and even requested that he return to perform at future events. I noticed many guests enjoying his performance and watching him intently, a testament to his ability to engage the audience.
Ben's enthusiasm for our event was palpable, making him even more engaging. I appreciate his accommodations, professionalism and easy-going nature. Thank you, Ben!

Ben's incredible talent and ability to connect with my family and friends of all ages left a lasting impression on us. He was extremely professional and attentive, and every individual at the event couldn't stop raving about how amazing he was. We were incredibly fortunate to have come across such a delightful and gifted artist. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
