BENBOLTMUSIC@GMAIL.COM In general, I’m playing in Phoenix from November through May; and Detroit, June through October. But there’s flexibility. If you think I’d be a good fit for your special occasion, I’m happy to travel anywhere for the right job. Remember, however, that for fly-away travel engagements, I'll need a compact public-address system to project the sound, and that's not something I bring on a plane. (For regular performances within driving distance of Phoenix and Detroit, I of course provide everything I need). Most any logistical challenge can be met. If you’re interested, please email me and we’ll figure it all out together. Big jobs, small jobs — it’s all music, and all fun. https://www.benboltmusic.com/about-the-recordings daily 0.75 2023-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c774e5771955b41aa2c84/1660524945473-OAD914IQZENMXQS5N3NU/811A0378.jpg A Note About The Recordings - A Note About The Recordings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c774e5771955b41aa2c84/1661652237624-I9NJSW2ZL4AYXVASYWRZ/811A0468.jpg A Note About The Recordings The Videos Themselves: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! All the glitches you see — and there are a bunch of them — are completely my responsibility. Andrew my engineer/videographer/still-photographer would record me with one camera while I did my live take; and then set up other angles for visual variety while I played through the recorded song again over the monitors. Well, I’ve never been able to play the same song the same way twice — so it won’t be hard to spot where I miss the ‘sync’ by coming in late or changing the fingering or mangling the lyrics. But you’re still hearing the original undoctored music. And I’m singing just as full on the extra camera-run or runs as I am on the primary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c774e5771955b41aa2c84/1632401240628-IM71MNJBBQK7X55Z2FPF/811A7822.jpg A Note About The Recordings - ANDREW FALK It’s my pleasure to boast about my collaborator on this web project, Andrew Falk. I’m generally acknowledged to be America’s Biggest Tech Idiot — I don’t even know how to upload a photo or .gif to a Facebook post. So when I approached Andrew to take me on, our roles were quickly defined: I would play guitar and sing. Andrew would do absolutely everything else. https://www.benboltmusic.com/welcome daily 1.0 2022-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c774e5771955b41aa2c84/1660524721013-XJJ5W6AYPXK1RY6T3G9G/811A0294.jpg Welcome - A New Solo Musical Adventure. For the first time, I’m working small — playing and singing, one voice, one guitar — and exploring a repertoire of 60s/70s singer-songwriters and my own solo interpretations of more intimate pop hits over the years. It’s music I’ve always played, and loved; but that I never brought outside the house until now. I’m excited to share this new musical venture with you. Over the past forty years, I’ve always been in a rock band or musical collaboration of some kind — most of it harder rock, British and American, the stuff you’d play if you grew up when I did, middle school and high school in the late 70s and early 80s, with older siblings who played the day’s hits nonstop on the family phonograph when you were little. Zeppelin, Who, Aerosmith, Beatles, Deep Purple, ZZTop, Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Clapton, Seger, Bad Co., Creedence, AC/DC, U2, Springsteen, Punk, Laurel Canyon, every British Invader, every band on Where The Action Is, every band on Midnight Special — it’s been my joy to play it all, in some great working bands. I still play it, with some of the best musicians in Detroit. But this is entirely different. My current and former bandmates won’t recognize me when I play it — ‘Dude, I didn’t even know you liked this stuff!’ — but this music comes straight from my heart, and it’s my great pleasure to finally share it with others. I hope you enjoy the videos and the music. And if you’d like to see it at your country club, bar/restaurant patio, or special occasion, please let me know! https://www.benboltmusic.com/-33-1/3-double-album-bio daily 0.75 2023-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c774e5771955b41aa2c84/1660185240939-UDSSU6FTD7ECJRB38N6D/811A0275.jpg - 33 1/3 Double Album Bio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c774e5771955b41aa2c84/1660528128915-RUOT4CKUGJUX2FZ051AV/811A0312.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c774e5771955b41aa2c84/1661651578151-5JVRIARY638MQNKLVE8Y/811A0278.jpg - 33 1/3 Double Album Bio - I hope that spirit of gratitude and happiness comes out in my music, and that it makes you want to sing along.
