Hello,
My name is Ben and I am an upright bass player located in Colorado Springs. I have been playing upright for 15 years, mostly folk, bluegrass, and jazz although I have played standard rock and pop songs as well. I am currently playing with a few groups local to Colorado Springs, but I would be happy to sub in for gigs on an as-needed basis. I would also be happy to hear about any recording opportunities that come up in Colorado. Please feel free to reach out and I we can chat about your project!
