The Ben Larson Band

If you’re looking for the real grow-yer-own, sawdust and gravel, sleep-under-the-stars songs celebrating the people who still get their hands dirty, then the Ben Larson Band is where you should look first. Composed by a farmer and carpenter from Philipsburg, Montana, Ben Larson and percussion-extraordinaire, Pfahl, filter the sounds of the high plains and backwoods, cosmic cowboys and heavy industry into their tales of modern life in the rural west. It’s working man's music, performed by guys whose love of performing barely outweighs their desire to live unbothered in the woods with their dogs, skilsaws and Kubota tractors.
