ARTIST Ben Dalby

Ben Dalby has been writing and performing his own songs for nearly twenty years. His music is eclectic, covering a variety of styles, but his lyrics are invariably intelligent and thought-provoking, written with the perspective of a humourous but unsentimental natural philosopher. This collection of songs were written and recorded in about two hours total, and showcase Ben's edgier side. Over on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/bendalbymusic), Ben plays electro-acoustic guitar in a gentle, sweeping style, and uses his voice to create "a sense of emotional stillness" in his performances.
