This captivating acoustic concert brings together two of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected musicians: keyboard maestro Dave Fleschner and multi-talented guitarist Ben Rice. Performing together for an unforgettable evening in Trinidad, CA, the duo will weave a rich tapestry of sound, merging their original material with timeless blues classics.

Both artists bring impressive and wide-ranging musical backgrounds to the stage. Internationally known for his work in blues, jazz, and soul, Dave Fleschner has shared the stage with icons like B.B. King, Steve Miller, and Curtis Salgado. As a prolific composer, arranger, and performer, he has a deep understanding of American roots music. For this special performance, Fleschner will grace the stage on a magnificent Steinway grand piano, offering a rare opportunity to hear his mastery in a stripped-down, acoustic format.

Known as a “blues ninja,” Ben Rice has earned a national and international reputation for his virtuosic guitar work and powerful, soulful vocals. He has captivated audiences with his dynamic slide playing on resonator and homemade cigar box guitars, often leaving crowds speechless with his emotional delivery. A student of the blues, Rice’s repertoire is rooted in the tradition of legends like Muddy Waters and Mississippi Fred McDowell, but his original music fearlessly blends soul, R&B, and folk into a distinctive roots stew.

Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the synergy of two exceptional artists performing an intimate evening of song. Their mutual respect for American roots music and individual styles will create a compelling, soulful, and unforgettable acoustic experience.
