Ben Ranson Show

Although he was born in a pickup on the side of the road, Ben was always the guy in the band whose job it was to listen to the recording and teach the song to everyone else. Since graduating from Berklee, where he studied performance and composition, he has performed in bars, coffee shops, churches, and art centers in various rock, blues, and folk groups, taught lessons, and engineered recordings for other local artists.

Ben’s dynamic, polyphonic guitar work features jazzy chords, counterpoint, and unusual combinations of textures. You can hear chicken pickin’, blues, and hints of jazz and flamenco in Ben’s music. He is notable for combining ironic, quirky songs with sophisticated guitar arrangements featuring extended solo improvisation. Ben has just released his second album “Red Eye River,” which can be found on Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon Music.
