About Me

Ben Farmer is an Atlanta-based guitarist/singer/songwriter. He was born in Decatur, GA where his love of music was fostered in marching band, church choir, and the garages of various friends’ houses. He finished high school as drum major of the Decatur High School Marching Band and attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he graduated with a degree in guitar performance and songwriting. He has been a part of music scenes all over the United States, from Boston to Nashville to San Francisco and Los Angeles. In 2004, he returned to Atlanta to build a music career out of his hometown. He has been touring regionally and teaching private music lessons ever since, further developing his unique voice as a writer and guitar player. His artistic vision is focused around the power of music for healing, inspiration, expanding consciousness, and raising powerful energy through vibration. You can hear Ben (aka the emberfarmingriffninja) performing with Alternation, Moon Goddess Cotillion, and the Fly Brothers. Some of his past bands include Mike Willis and the Escape Artists, Alicia Champion, Portrait of the Artist, Kevin Wood, and Gene Owens.
