Currently Ben Powell makes his way through this world like a one man band of years past, but with a fresh, new, vibrant sound. Ben has  created a truley unique sound playing his resonator guitars, stomping on a homemade winebox footboard, playing rack-harmonica, and singing his old style blues and his original tunes about anything from world politics, to economics, to any of the issues of the day. Ben's show's are high energy, uplifting and should not be missed!
