Facing Fiasco

EP NOW AVAILABLE at Waterloo Records!

About Me


Combining more than 20 years of professional experience in the Texas music scene, Facing Fiasco is a must-have act for 2007.
Drawing influences from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, John Mayer, and Green Day, Facing Fiasco takes pride in delivering not only great music, but exciting entertainment as well. Through catchy guitar-lick driven riffs, listeners cannot help but bob their heads and dance. Some have described the sound as ‘party rock’, personifying the environment surrounding Facing Fiasco performances. Lyrics embody a wide range of themes, often finding common ground with listeners, enabling the group to hold an audience’s attention for the entire set.
If one takes the high energy alt. rock and funk styling’s of lead guitarist and songwriter Ben Henning, combines the r&b/funk drums of Matt Ramsey, mixes it with the scorching rock guitar of Bobby Kennedy, and adds a dash of deep bass guitar from Erik Cantu, the result is a juicy dance-funk-rock concoction that will quench the thirst of any listener, filling up the dance floor and keeping audiences coming back for more!
Experience boasts regular appearances in San Marcos, San Antonio, Temple, and Austin. Members of the group have successfully taken stages at Stubb’s, Antone’s, MoMo’s, and Maggie Mae’s, just to name a few.
