What’s better than one @bensonamps Redland?!
TWO OF COURSE!
Our great friends @roccoderosamusic and the legendary @danny_kortchmar_ of the fantastic Rhode Island based @backburnersbluesband band are now proud owners of these beautiful Redland 1x12 combos. Danny went with the Aged Tweed 15 watt and Rocco went with the Miss Lee 35 watt.
Catch these fellas at @citywinerybos on Sunday May 10. Not to be missed!

Anyone thinking of going to soundcheckxpo in Mexico City next year, I couldn’t recommend it more! No idea why there are robots though… but don’t threaten me with making a fool of myself.
Happy Birthday to our 2 band mates and 2 of the best to ever do it @danny_kortchmar_ and @jslat85 ! Such a pleasure to get to spend some time with @jamestaylor_com too! We hope to see you guys out there at The Back Burners Birthday Bash at @myrtle.rhodeisland on April 26th! We'll be celebrating Kootch's 80th, Joel's 41st and @roccoderosamusic 's 43rd! Going to be a night to remember. Get your tix now!
Rhody Folks! Don't forget to grab your tickets to my show with @backburnersbluesband show at Chan's on March 6th! If our last show is any indication, this well be a sellout!
We've been slow cookin' up some new tunes for you. This is for sure gonna be fun night! #supportlocalmusicians #supportlocalmusic #bluesguitar #bluesharmonica #rhodeislandbluessociety #rhodeislandblues #rhodeislandmusic #RhodeIslandBlues #rhodeislandmusicscene #bluesbands #BluesMusic #bluesmusic #bluesmusician
Oh man, what a NIGHT! I was super lucky to get to hang with some blues icons the other night. Kim Wilson and The Fabulous Thunderbirds knocked me over. And to get to meet Jerry Portnoy in the same night with Danny Kortchmar? A dream come true!
Don't miss Kootch and myself with The Back Burners at Chan's on March 6th! Tickets are moving!
There's been a bit of a delay in my posting here. These past few months have been a lot to process and some of the most musically and professionally rewarding of my life. Between playing @firstnightboston with @leavingirene to sharing the stage with @danny_kortchmar_ , @jslat85 , @balloumarty and @vinny_chenz_pagano with @backburnersbluesband , it's been absolutely incredible.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who came out and filled Music Room Cape Cod last Friday. A nearly sold-out room like that never gets old, and the energy you brought made it a night I won’t forget.
Huge thanks to Music Room for having us and taking such great care of the music. And a massive thank you to the musicians in The Back Burners—Danny Kortchmar, Marty Ballou, Vinny Pagano, and Joel Latullipe. It’s an absolute privilege sharing the stage with players of this caliber, and I’m grateful every time we get to make music together.
Next up, we’re bringing it to Myrtle in East Providence on 1/25. If you were there last week, come do it again. If you missed it, we’d love to see you.

EXCITEMENT POST: This is really one of those moments I don't think I'll soon forget. Quick story: about a year ago, @patmcgeeband called and asked if I would help his friend @danny_kortchmar_ with some studio tasks. Naturally, after I got off the floor, I said yes! Since then, Kootch and I have been cooking up a truly special spin on some of his originals, and some of our favorite blues music. It is beyond an honor to be included in a band with not only with someone like Kootch who has influenced so much of my favorite music, but some of the New England music scenes staples like @jslat85 , @balloumarty , and @vinny_chenz_pagano . I have been saying to Joel for 20 years "we need to start a blues band". I never thought I would start out with such company. If you can make it to @myrtle.rhodeisland on 10/9/25, I promise you won't regret it. Also, I could not have gotten this off the ground without a tremendous amount of help from @joandeets and @chazmorse ! I hope to see some of you there! This is going to be a night I know I won't forget for a long time. and give @backburnersbluesband a follow! Lots more in the works! 📷-@joandeets
RIP to an iconic artist. Some of my earliest shows I worked as a stagehand were for OzzFest. I had the pleasure of meeting Ozzy, Sharon and Jack many times and they were always so kind. May they find some peace during this difficult time and thank you for the music and inspiration@ozzyosbourne you will be missed 🖤🖤🖤🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
