Thanks to a great BR fan!

I saw Ben at a Harley-Davidson dealer show about 6 years ago.

He had a limited supply of CD's, and they sold out before I could get one. I would like to know how I can order his CD's.

Please drop me a line at jfox@netexpress.net and let me know how I can order his tunes.
Thanks in advance for the help,

Joe Fox

Joe, we thank you for the email and its guys like you who are going to help us get the word out!
Lets do the 105th Harley-Davidson celebration!

The Studio Report

Ben is in the studio recording demo's from his last writing session and although no one is being allowed to hear the songs, your humble scribe was fortunate enough to sneak in to "deliver" the much needed pizza! Let me tell you, if it were posible to get a gorilla and a bull elephant on tape and throw in a little Godzilla I believe it would sound much like this! Just very powerful!

Stay tuned the demo's will be on the myspace page soon.

Laguna Guitars

Ben is always looking for instruments with a great tone that feel at home in his hands and his lastest, greatest find is Laguna Guitars.

Here is a little of their company mission:

A new breed of luthiers have come together to introduce Laguna Guitars -- instruments based on the philosophy that the best guitar designs flow from a single source: the needs of the player. It is a belief that drove them to set tradition aside, ignore the "but-that's-how-it's-always-been-done" approach, and instead listen to guitarists' voices and watch their hands. Asking a thousand different questions, in a thousand different ways helped Laguna forge a new kind of guitar design philosophy--one that is "player-driven." The result is a comprehensive line of acoustic and electric guitars that guitarists help to create.

Head down to the Guitar Center near you and test drive one of these beauties!

New Songs

Ben, Bruce McCabe,and Robert Willis , wrote new 5 songs at their writing retreat on the beautiful beaches of Daytona.

I heard a couple of them in their raw form and I was very impressed, I believe you will be as well.

It was a GREAT show at the Bank and Blues!

With producer David Z and Bruce McCabe, (the hit writer of Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Sheppards hits) in the house you know Ben just absolutely rocked. Aerosmith meets Clapton with Albert King alive and in one Ben Robinson is how one person described the event.

It was the first time in 8 years that Ben and Tony Tyler had played together and I can tell you, it was like they had been on the road together all these years, just hot. Tony had a new super bass player in his band when Ben jumped up to join him on Whipping post, sweet! Who knew?

Then Tony T. did a set that had the crowd going nuts, they look forward to hitting the road very soon.

The Bank and Blues was loaded with talent, just over the top. you should join Jeff Feadora and the gang there when you are in town!

Ben and Bruce McCabe are writing as I speak. Robert Willis will also be doing writing sessions with Ben, it was Robert who discovered Ben at a small club in Brunswick Georgia. Robert has worked with Greg Allman and Ric Wake among others.

Ben has a new Street Team Myspace page!

Kudo's to Bill our new National Myspace Street Team CEO!

Nice job Bill, an artist never makes it on his own, he is propelled by his on talent and desire and the love of those who both believe in them and put that belief into motion.

Ben thanks everyone for the push!
