Ben Wells
www.myspace.com/benwellsbass
Electric or acoustic, young musician Ben Wells is a bassist with a playing style of contradictions — both soft and tough. He’s understandably in demand. His latest musical projects and collaborations include the Dirty Kids, Metropolis, The Pulse Trio, The Gravel Trio, the Kevin Hackler Quintet, The New Groove Quartet, the Charlton Singleton Trio, Elise Testone’s band, and many other gigs. He’s consistently creative with the music of the setting — rock, jazz, funk, or whatever. He’s well-versed enough to switch gears from Weather Report to Tom Waits to Radiohead. He can channel Jaco, McVie, Clarke, or Flea at any moment. What a badass.
