BEN WATERS feat. David Graham and the Eskimo Brothers - Rockabilly/Boogie from Nashville
Ben Waters
Ben Waters always plays the music he loves most, the music of his heroes Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Ian Stewart, and a whole host of great pianists. This is the music that makes him happy! This is why he dropped out of school and went on tour with Shakin' Stevens. This is why he has dedicated himself entirely to this music and has been traveling the world for 35 years in his mission, which has nothing to do with fame, money, or popularity, but solely with a love for music.
It is exactly this carefree attitude regarding fame, and exactly this love for his music, that has led him to some of the greats in this genre.
Jools Holland, Shakin' Stevens, Cher, Charlie Watts, Jeff Beck, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Imelda May, Mick Hucknall, Johnny Depp and many more.
With us in Neustadt, he performs with his buddies from Nashville/Tennessee, David Graham and the Eskimo Brothers, a fantastic Rockabilly combo with a bit of country twang.
