Ben Pagano

Ben Pagano is a pianist/keyboardist, singer/songwriter, and actor based in New York City. It was around 2010 when he started playing his own original music out in the Lower East Side's Antifolk scene at the Sidewalk Cafe and eventually became part of Brooklyn's DIY scene performing regularly at venues like Goodbye Blue Monday and Palisades. Since then he has been writing songs, and gigging non-stop.

He released his first album titled "Robot Jazz' in 2014, his second album "Forms" in 2017 and will be releasing his third album "Exploring Dreams" September of 2022. The album is a collection of songs inspired by reoccurring dreams and the feelings associated with them. The work is an abstract commentary on the human condition where the artist explores ranges of emotion interconnecting both personal experiences and current affairs. The album is extensive in its genre coverage and displays a blend of jazz, pop, funk, folk, soul and rock whilst maintaining a cohesiveness that defines the sound.

"Exploring Dreams" will be released September, 2022 along with a music video of the title track and a release show 9/25 at Our Wicked Lady Rooftop in Brooklyn (7pm doors/ 8pm Music).
