SUMMARY:The Dave Fleschner Trio Feat Ben Rice
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS! \nDoors at 6:00 P.M. \n1 Ticket – Two sets\, starting at 6:30 and 8:00 \n$15 if you buy before April 24. \n$20 at the door. \nUnderage seating available\, please indicated when purchasing tickets. \nHoku has delicious food and a full bar. \nDave Fleschner on keys\, Dan Gildea on Guitar and Charlie Doggett on drums – have been making music together for decades. This trio begins the evening with  a range of original tunes from Dave’s catalogue\, as well as a variety of blues\, funk soul and jazz classics. \nThey will be joined by their special guest: Ben Rice. \nBen Rice might be described as quiet and unassuming – until he picks up a guitar. That stealthy quality has earned him the moniker “blues ninja\,” evidenced in his vocal chops and songcraft as well as his guitar playing. While Ben started in traditional blues\, over the years he’s built upon that foundation with soul\, R&B\, folk and country to fashion a welcoming front porch where everybody wants to hang out into the wee hours. Since his large-stage debut at the International Blues Challenge in 2014\, Ben has made the leap from Northwest act to national and international touring artist\, featuring at festivals and stages far and wide. \nBen’s early influences were vinyl records – his dad’s Steely Dan\, Bob Marley\, and Marshall Tucker and his mom’s Al Green\, Barry White\, and George Benson. Once his dad bought him a guitar at age seven\, Ben was hooked. Soon all his allowance money was going toward exploratory thrift store finds: blues compilations featuring Mississippi John Hurt\, Bukka White\, Mississippi Fred McDowell\, and cassette tapes of more contemporary artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robert Cray\, all played until they wore out. \nThat broad range of influences combined to yield a guitar style that’s been described as “fearless\,” “inventive\,” and “powerful.” Whether he’s sliding up and down on a steel resonator or reeling off stinging leads on his custom-crafted electric\, Ben’s intensity and inventiveness never fail to turn heads. Audiences also respond to his heartfelt songwriting that carries a classic\, strongly relatable vibe. “My goal is to reach people in a way that they need to be reached\,“ Ben says\, “to say things they may not get to say or hear things they may not normally get to hear.” \nAlthough Ben’s first passion was guitar\, he diligently hones his singing to best support his original tunes. In performance he strives to be mindful of the meaning behind his lyrics\, treating every song like a story and evoking the mood of what the story’s main character is going through. “I try to write songs that hold weight and meaning\, but my songs mean whatever they need to for whoever hears them\,” Ben says. “I want people to enjoy my music on their own terms.” \nTICKETS! \nLink to the whole series!
