Ben Ranson LIVE @ Inspiration Bar

Friday November 17th

7:00-9:00pm

Ben Ranson will be performing live at Inspiration Bar on Friday Nov 17th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm

Ben Ranson is a nylon-string, finger-style guitarist and humorous singer-songwriter from Sandstone, Minnesota. His songs are distinguished by their irreverent attitude, realism, and rural mid-western subject matter such as: potato inspectors, love, taxidermists, garbage men, grasshoppers, rodeo accidents, and the cuisine of the town of Barnesville, MN. His rhyme and wordplay make the imagery in his songs vivid, lifelike, and funny.

Although he was born in a pickup on the side of the road, Ben was always the guy in the band whose job it was to listen to the recording and teach the song to everyone else. Since graduating from Berklee, where he studied performance and composition, he has performed in bars, coffee shops, churches, and art centers in various rock, blues, and folk groups, taught lessons, and engineered recordings for other local artists.

Ben’s dynamic, polyphonic guitar work features jazzy chords, counterpoint, and unusual combinations of textures. You can hear chicken pickin’, blues, and hints of jazz and flamenco in Ben’s music. He is notable for combining ironic, quirky songs with sophisticated guitar arrangements featuring extended solo improvisation.
