BEN ALES Trio

THURSDAY 30 NOVEMBER 9:30 PM

"Ben Ales, the UK-based Singer-Songwriter and Guitarist, draws his musical inspiration from classical legends and his rich Verona upbringing.

However, it was a transformative trip to Cuba that ignited his solo career.

In 2017, he unveiled his debut album, "The Fool," skillfully weaving themes of self-discovery with esoteric undertones, all infused with an indie-folk Americana twist. 

 In 2019, Ben's music transcended borders, exemplified by his dream-pop single, "Here Forever," an enchanting ode to timeless romance. 

 His latest single, “She Don’t (Away from You),” delves into neo-soul and R&B sounds, with an upcoming full band version on the horizon. 

 Looking forward, Ben is gearing up to release an enchanting acoustic Blues EP, featuring original blues compositions inspired by legends like Leadbelly and Sam Chatmon. 

Over the past two years, Ben has engaged in dynamic collaborations and performances, including the vibrant indie band "Lemon Power" and the Lo-fi London Jazz Hip Hop project "Doctor Gosso and The Sampler." Experience the diverse world of Ben Ales' music journey."
