   About Ben Powell
Ben has been playing guitar for 17 years and has dabbled in many genres. Acoustic guitar is his natural instrument. He has played in two succesful bands to date, Second Class Citizen and Wireman. He was forced to leave Wireman when nodules on his voice box developed after 3 years of hard gigging and a critically acclaimed performance at the Stroud Fringe Festival in 2007. Two years of rest, one diagnosis of depression and a baby later Ben is back gigging on his own, recording new solo material showing a more intraspective sound and fully embracing all his influences of folk, grunge and world music.

Great gig last night. Welcome back. I hadn't heard the very deep folky voice before :)

Oh also, I was wondering if you could you do me a favor? It would only take a few seconds. Could u please click on the Songcast banner below and register. Even if you aren't a musician. It is free and only takes a few seconds. The reason why I am asking you is because Songcast will pay me $1.00 for everyone that I can get to register. This would be a very easy way for you to help an Indie musician without spending a dime. I am just utilizing creative ways to make money so that I have more time to write. Thanks
