An Evening with Ben Townsend and Friends

Join Ben for an evening of storytelling, live music and film at the premiere of the latest videos from his web series "2 Guys Named Ben," and releases a brand new album of old-time music, "Deep End Sessions Volume 3: Ben Townsend and Friends."

In the fall of 2014, Ben townsend, a renowned storyteller and traditional musician from the appalachian mountain region, and Ben Guzman, a native angeleno, known for his involvement in the los angeles old time social, the Bicycle Kitchen, and triple Chicken Foot rode their bicycles across the country, playing music, and filming regional musicians and artists along the way. Join "2 Guys Named Ben" for an evening blending storytelling, live music, film and cycling. The two Bens will take you on a multimedia bicycle tour starting in Hampshire County, West Virginia through the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Louisiana Bayou, along the Mexican border, through the Southwestern Desert, finally landing in Los Angeles, California.

Along with friends Triple Chicken Foot, sausage Grinder, members of the Hi Fi Honeydrops, Erin Schneider, and Joe Wack, the Bens will present songs harvested from each state they traveled through. Throughout the performance documentary shorts filmed on the tour will be screened featuring musicians and artists met on their travels - including the debut of our Deep End Sessions short.
