Ben Seretan (4 Albums, 15 Tracks)

loud stabs of waterfall electric guitar, sweet gospel melodies, and big warm swells of sound joined by frequent Jonathan Richman covers Ben - who has played and continues to play in a wide array of bands - started performing solo in earnest in the spring of 2011. Since then, he has released three full-length solo recordings (New Music, New Space, New Song - a series) and a collaborative LP with Portland instrumental masters the Early (LPs available here). His latest recording, New Song, was released on November 16th, 2012. Ben currently plays lead guitar (and wears a costume) for the garage/glam implosion Jane Eyre, lead guitar for crypto-jazz balladeers Fayaway, and is one half of the Badalmenti/Stars of the Lid send up Blushing. He also works at a movie theater.
