Live music is what the Ben DeLong Band lives for! Reading the room, Ben, along with his band of friends performing at his side, creates a new and fresh experience for each venue and occasion.
Music from The BDB includes artists like Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5, The Beatles, CCR, Amos Lee, Billy Joel, Chuck Berry, Ed Sheeran, Chicago, Elton John, The Eagles, and Gavin DeGraw, in addition to his original songs. Questions often asked are "what is your genre?" or "what's your favorite song to perform?" To this, Ben replies, "I haven't settled on a specific genre, as I can perform many songs from many genres. My favorite thing to do is to make a rock song chill or an acoustic song rock. If there's a way I can mashup two similar songs, I'll do that too!" His current favorite song to perform is "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone.
Ben is also an ordained minister and had led worship music in churches for 30 years. He shares his music at retirement villages as well as private parties such as birthdays, graduations, and weddings. With a music degree on the trumpet, Ben also performs Taps at funerals and The National Anthem at sporting events.
Music is a language that breaks cultural and generational barriers like nothing else. Music is moving and inspiring; it is meant to be felt. But more than music, BDB is all about people, family, and making lasting connections.
Based in Maumee, Ohio, the Ben DeLong Band utilizes their library of over 500 songs to entertain and mesmerize people of all ages, performing songs from a variety of genres. The frontman, Ben, performs dozens of solo shows monthly, from senior centers to country clubs around Northern Ohio and Southeast Michigan. Throughout the show, he employs his classical training on the piano, adds in his collegiate jazz on the trumpet, and will even play both instruments at the same time! When he's able to, Ben rounds out his full band with other musicians on drums, bass, guitar, and other vocalists.
