Ben Basile

Stay Whelmed Productions Presents: Ben Basile “Benergy” Album Release Show Westfield MA @ Hutghi’s At The Nook With Special Guests: The Valley Moonstompers Society Acclaimed bassist Ben Basile is thrilled to announce The Benergy Album Release Tour! Best known for his work with Big D and The Kids Table, Ben has performed and recorded with countless artists throughout his career, this marks his first album entirely of his own compositions. Ben believes bassists offer a unique perspective on composition and arrangement, crafting music from a ‘bottom-up’ approach. This philosophy shines through in the album’s thoughtful yet minimalistic arrangements. Each track brings a distinct sound, featuring an eclectic mix of musicians from Ben’s two musical worlds: ska and jazz. “Benergy” will be released on Sleep Walk Sounds on Friday, May 2nd. The album will be released on Vinyl, CD, and Digital. Vinyl preorder is available now. Ben has assembled an all-star band of musicians for the tour, which will create a unique and exciting performance of ska, reggae, and jazz! The Valley Moonstompers Society are from Easthampton, Massachusetts. Inspired by the classic Jamaican sounds, the Valley Moonstompers Society is a Western MA based collective of musicians exploring the hypnotic dance rhythms of ska, rocksteady and dub and more!
