ABOUT
Welcome!
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, Churck Berry, Ed Sheeran, Jason Mraz, 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 "Autumn Leaves".
Ben is also an ordained minister and a worship leader who has led worship music in churches for almost 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.
MORE THAN JUST MUSIC
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.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Based out of Toledo, Ohio, The BDB is poised to bring your event up a notch with positive energy. If the setting requires background music, Ben's background classical music will set the mood. Are you celebrating a special event in your life or the life of a loved one? The BDB infuses jazz into standards you already know and love. Even on a solo piano or rhythm acoustic guitar, the musicianship provided by The BDB will blow you away.
