Here's a blurb about this acclaimed international act!

Ben Waters has been paid the accolade by Jools Holland of being one of his all-time favourite pianists. Renowned for playing barnstorming sets, he rocks the house every time with an eclectic mix from his heroes Fats Domino, Huey “Piano” Smith, Albert Ammons, Ian Stewart, Jerry Lee Lewis, Amos Milburn & Chuck Berry as well as his own writings. Rhythm & Blues to get everyone on their feet!

Ben has and continues to play alongside star performers such as The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Davies, Jeff Beck, Jools Holland, PJ Harvey, Shakin’ Stevens & so many more.

For some years he, along with the late, great Charlie Watts, Axel Swingenberger & Dave Green became the “A,B,C &D of Boogie Woogie”. More recently he came together with Ronnie Wood to form “Ronnie Wood & the Mad Lads”.

In his own right, Ben has sold out shows from Ronnie Scott's to the Sydney Opera House to The Royal Albert Hall, & every kind of venue imaginable, in thousands of shows around the world.
