Ben Long

Virginia native Ben Long was a guitar player first. From the age of 14 he became obsessed with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, SRV, John Frusciante, and John Mayer. It wasn’t until the age of 18 during a summer semester at Berklee College of Music that he started to hone in on the craft of songwriting. During his time in Boston, his influences became widely broadened. Whether it’s the guitar playing of the 60s, the lyrical sense of folk, or that new age flair of alternative and indie music - Ben will pull from a variety of different sounds. With such a vast pallet of genres and inspiration, he has been writing music ever since with the goal of one day releasing a self titled EP.
