Ben Maney and Countless Sheep

About Me

Very excited to announce that the second Countless Sheep recording project is underway! Preparations are being made and we will start recording on May 9th with master Eric Lewinsky over at Rock Snob Records..and hope to release by the end of the summer..If you know us..then you know that almost everything we do today tends to be an almost complete departure from what we did yesterday..so expect nothing less this time around! The adventure never ends!We'd like to thank RB Morris,Jack Rentfro and Aycha for the fun that we've had during recent collaborations.. We look forward to more!Thanks to WUTK for putting our album "Like a Cat" on regular rotation..And thanks most of all to those of you who have come out to see us play..and to those of you who have purchased "drinking the world from a glass" This is all about you!!
