Welcome to my page! Most of you know me as Ben, I also go by Roma (middle name). My goal is to make a living by performing, so I take advantage of every opportunity to get on stage. My mantra is: "Rehearsing is the Opposite of Hoping". You'd be surprised how many "Hopers" are out there.I have played guitar in several previous bands, Broken Authority (3 line up changes) , SugarSuite, and a few that never made it on stage for one reason or another.I currently play guitar for Cover It Up (a new cover band fronted by Rolondo aka the "Dirty Little Cuban"). We should be making our debut soon performing popular works that are often overlooked by other bands.I also play guitar for Jyn. Jyn is a new and exciting project for me, so I am not playing on the posted works. We will have new songs/recordings up soon. Jyn is fronted by Brik Savj, you should listen to the lyrics of his material. Very promising indeed. You will hear more of Jyn soon!I play trumpet for Johnny Cakes and The 4 Horsemen of The Apocalypso (Debauchery Rules!, and these guys know how to have fun) be sure to catch a show for a great time....plus I play trumpet with The Voices of Jazz.The Voices of Jazz is a collaboration of seasoned musicians (some are retired) that allow me to futher explore my love of Jazz (look for some city sponsored shows around the Holidays).I run my own Rehearsal Studio (Ben & Daisy's) with my girlfriend, Daisy (she's an aspiring tattoo artist). We usually have some open time slots, and the studio has recording capability. Contact me if your band would like to check it out. It's a cheap way to get your band in a professional private rehearsal setting.Thanks for stopping by and hopefully you will come back to see how I am progressing along on my journey. I could join up with a national act and be off on tour, or better yet one of my current projects will take off. You just never know what hard work and dedication will bring. But in the meantime, you will find me on stage somehwere locally.Peace....
