In a three year time span, involving some songs twenty-years-old, Pocket Octavez is my most passionate musical effort. The album is a 12 song spectrum of simplicity and complexity; lyrical and musical; conforming and experimentation.
Ben delivers a rich and captivating musical experience, blending a curated mix of beloved classics and rare gems through the shimmer of his 12-string acoustic guitar and masterful use of a looper pedal.
With a velvety voice that draws listeners in, his original songs unfold like intimate stories—equally at home beside a crackling campfire, a chic cocktail lounge, or a private celebration under the stars. As a seasoned songwriter and producer, Ben crafts original music with depth and soul, bringing a personal touch that elevates each performance beyond the expected.
