"Funky… guitar-looping, beat-boxing, soul-singing… powerhouse Ben Hammond" (Sarasota Herald Tribune) performs a wide range of groove-oriented acoustic music, original compositions and reimagined cover songs.
Born in the foothills of the White Mountains, Ben's first musical endeavors outside rural New England took him north to McGill University where he received a degree in Music Technology and Jazz Voice, worked the city's live music circuit in several bands and appeared as a guest performer at the Montreal Jazz Festival. For the past decade, he has since made his living exclusively through music, relentlessly touring all four corners of the United States, Southeast Asia and New Zealand, combining his dual passions of travel and music. Predominantly a soloist, he also shines in duo and band settings, layering his unique style with varied talent from around the world.
While not on the road, Ben has been active in the studio, producing 3 full length albums (12,000 independently sold and counting), multiple music videos, and a live concert DVD "Solo at Stone Mountain Arts Center". Thousands of shows later at hundreds of venues, festivals and private events, Hammond has honed his smooth, energetic style and is one of the most sought after musicians in those places he's called home. He is wildly excited about his newly laid roots in the front range of Colorado, including an artist endorsement from Colorado Spring's Westone In Ear Monitors, and he relishes this chance to bring his engaging music to a whole new audience. As noted by the Portland Press Herald: "Hammond is a versatile musician who writes memorable originals, delivers when he decides to cover someone, and uses his guitar, voice and gadgets to create a sound that you want to keep hearing."
