“Ben Shelton plays the guitar with one foot in jazz and the other foot
in the blues -- he can play funky or get cerebral without ever losing
the groove.  He's been playing for more than 20 years, with highlights
including performances with jazz musicians including Joey DeFrancesco
and David "Fathead" Newman in college, sharing the stage with St.
Louis blues legend Bennie Smith, releasing two well-received EPs as
the frontman of the Soulless Dogs Blues Band, and holding a weekly
residency with his organ trio in downtown Austin, TX. As with the
great organ groups of the ‘60s and ‘70s, Ben loves integrating new
music into the jazz tradition, with a book of arrangements spanning
everything from well-known standards to modern pop and R&B.”
