If you're looking for The Ben Band, you've come to the right place...
The Ben Band is a family-friendly musical act based in Los Angeles. Ben sings and plays guitar, while the other band members (shown above) provide moral support. The result is a wacky, dynamic performance featuring original songs about some extremely important subjects, including:
-Ben's alarm clock, who wakes up everyone in Ben's apartment building whenever Ben goes out of town...
-Ben's fridge, Fred, who is very shy and only ever says the word "Ummm..."
-Ben's guitar, who interrupts during every performance to complain that audiences only pay attention to Ben, not to the guitar...
... and many other characters.
The Ben Band brings animals, objects, food, transportation, and just about anything else you can imagine to life. You may not know it, but the items around you have very strong opinions about the world - and if you want to hear what they think, you'll need to attend a show!
"The audience was delighted with The Ben Band! Ben is a gifted performer with original and creative music. His sense of humor was so perfect for our audience of K-3rd grade and the teachers as well were entertained with his original music, creativity and wit. Many positive comments were heard as the group of students and teachers filed out of the auditorium. We look forward to having The Ben Band back at the library for another performance!"
-Jean Mangone, Friends of the Children's Library, Huntington Beach Central Library
