the latest news...

:::May 16, 2006::: Yes, a year later! A bit has happend, more songs have been written, an occupational change, and a new ministry.

Some friends of mine and I have started a ministry for young adults/college folks called "The Well"::: I've been leading worship for the youth group at the Surfside PCA church for about a year and a half and started leading at The Well this past January. Starting on Memorial Day, we're expecting a couple hundred folks from Campus Outreach::: Should be alot of fun. I get to work with some really incredible musicians from the coastal area - and we seem to be creating a real organic folk-rocky sound. I'm not sure if the music will make it on the webcasts (downloadable) but perhaps from time to time I'll see that the originals get on it. You can catch them here and look for the 6:30 services.

See you all soon...

:::May 17, 2005::: Well, its been a little while, but we're all settled in Myrtle Beach and enjoying it - the short winter, the long spring and fall, and the really hot summer - I suppose that could be a little cooler. The music is going well - a bit slow, but there are always new songs and new places. There's a little coffeehouse in town called Divine Coffeehouse where I've played and hope to play again soon.

And in recording news, I've done a version of the Vigilantes of Love song "Offer" for a tribute project. If you'd like to hear it, here you go::: Offer.mp3::: Go to this address to find more songs by other people involved - there are some really good tracks::: VOL-Forum::: That's it for now. Come back soon - more to come - Ben

:::September 17, 2003 New dates have been added...two shows upcoming in Columbia, SC at Jammin' Java!

:::August 17,2003 One Night in August...Live is now available!:::Recorded live on 8.8.03 on the last night of my shows at the Victorian Veranda, "One Night in August" is a collection of 17 songs (10 new!) performed - as always - with just the acoustic and a harmonica now and then. Like before, the cd's contain all original songs and artwork - this time my own photographs and designs and come in slim jewel cases. But don't let that fool you. The inserts have all the lyrics to the new songs and all the other info I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats to know... Anyway, $10 plus shipping will get it sent right to your front door (or mailbox). Hope you enjoy!
