Howdy, my name is Ben Lacy. I want to be the next Bob Dylan. I used to just play lead guitar for a classic rock covers and originals band. Since then I have delved deepest into the field of blues when it comes to lead guitar, and have written a lot of catchy, witty originals of varying genres. I have honed my singing to and playing abilities over the past 7 or 8 years, and continue to grow and learn. I sincerely intend on taking over the music world in due time, and trying (albeit vainly perhaps) to save the world in the process.
