Benjamin Thomas Guernsey
May 6, 1974- present
Benjamin Guernsey has been playing guitar since he was eleven years old. He started off learning eighties glamour rock guitar riffs and grew to learn the finger picking styles of Elizabeth Cotton, and John Frusciante. The Americana influenced guitar playing and the sound of Ben's smoky voice take you to a small Irish pub on a gray misty day. At seventeen he began singing and has not turned back since. His simplistic and honest song writing abilities developed from listening to artists such as Lucinda Williams, Blaine Fielding , and Shane MacGowan.
Originally, Ben is from Garrett Park, Maryland. Tom Guernsey, his dad, grew up in the Washington D.C. area playing music for most of his life. Together they wrote the majority of songs on Ben's album, Everybody Knows, and recoreded in Tom's in-house studio. The album features many well know artists from the Washington, D.C. and Maryland area. Ben Guernsey currently resides in
Seattle, Washington & plays with the band "Tugboat Country" & Acordion down at the pike street market.

Deep music, makes you relaxed, you'll ponder your own life.
author: Tonuah Trujillo
I found the music to be really deep. I feel that Ben is a truely gifted singer/songwriter. It makes me reflect on my own life. I enjoy embracing the music,(especially "At 17") it is beautiful, and thought-provoking. The lyrics seemed to be so profoundly comforting. It is the perfect CD to listen anytime. This CD will always be one of my top 5 favorites.
