There’s no doubt about it; Ben Griffith is destined to be a star. From when he casually wanders on stage to the moment he leaves – you are his. Emanating an infectious passion for music and life, his deceptively simple and beautifully crafted songs capture the hearts and minds of his audience.
Drawing from a plethora of influences, Ben conjures melodies reminiscent of the Beach Boys or the Smiths, strung with lyrics that combine the heartfelt emotion of Counting Crows with the wry honesty of Beck. These qualities are underscored by a sense of truth, of depth to his thoughts and ideas that raise his songs up from the ranks of his peers.
Live he presents a delectable range of possibilities. Switching effortlessly from the role of solo troubadour to that of front-man, his songs shine throughout. Guitar and voice merge in a soft, chilled out style of his own, sweetly tempting you in. Other thoughts and troubles drift away as his songs evoke memories of the joyous leap and swell of new love; of nights lost to alcohol and great ideals; of the cauterising ache of a broken heart.
Starting as part of a band on the gig circuit in London, Ben discovered his passion for playing early. As band-mates split off to university he moved on, heading to Brighton to pursue his music. In his own words, “I’ve decided that music is what makes me happy and makes me feel alive.”
The last few years have been spent honing his talents with performance after performance, playing anywhere from parties to pubs, sweaty basements to packed marquees.
