Ben Beckendorf Band

About Me

This space is maintained by John, Ben's bass player, for show and contact info for the band. Ben's personal space is in the friends list below.................................The Ben Beckendorf Band has been a staple in the Texas Hill Country music scene for over 20 years. Ben grew up in Fredericksburg and began his career in the 70's. The mix of tradtional blues with the Tex Mex styles popularized by ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughn create a sound unique to the Texas Hill Country. Ben has shared the stage with Carlos Santana, Jimmy Vaughn, Ponty Bone, and a host of legendary musicians too long to mention here (in other words I don't know them all!!). The band is made up of drummer Jeff Walker, bassist John Gammill, sax player Dave Hohman, and trumpet player Matt Castillo.
