Ben recently joined the band and has been an excellent addition.  He plays incredible bass, and he's so fun to be in a band with.

​

Studying classic and jazz music in his school years, Ben has always felt the call of a rock band in his life. He and his wife Katie recently moved back to Chicago from the southeastern part of the country, and also spent time in New Orleans and Myrtle Beach.  While in Myrtle Beach, Ben played in bands called Traitors Gate and 64 Mega Drive.  In high school, Ben joined a jam band called CabezaHead and enjoyed playing the Oak Park church basement circuit.  While attending Triton College, he was in various bands, both in and out of school. He obtained an associate degree and briefly attended Elmhurst College School of Music studying jazz and music theory.  Now that’s he’s back in the area, when he’s not laying down the groove with Industrial Drive Ben works as a cook.
