Ben Howe

Crafting Folk inspired Indie-Pop Magic from the Heart of Minnesota


Meet Ben, the 24-year-old artist hailing from the lake filled landscapes of Minnesota. Having an early start with drum lessons at the age of 4, Ben has seamlessly woven his way through the intricate world of music. From performing weekly at 12, to going to Mcnally Smith College Of Music at 16 for piano performance and music production, producing songs for others to contributing to many bands and artists, Ben has now emerged as a solo artist ready to carve out his unique niche in the Minneapolis music scene.

In the realm of folk inspired indie-pop, Ben orchestrates a symphony that beautifully fuses alternative, indie, folk, and pop influences. Armed with a skillset ranging from production to guitar, obscure world instruments to piano, and the ability to belt out moving vocals, Ben crafts music that explores the complexities of lost love, new love, and friendships, providing a therapeutic outlet for listeners. What makes Ben stand out is not just his musical prowess, but the intriguing paradox between the melancholic themes of his lyrics and his genuinely upbeat personality. Often drawing inspiration from the skies (pictured), Ben finds creative inspiration when soaring through the air with his paraglider, translating these experiences into music that resonates with a profound sense of nostalgia and beauty.

Ben's musical journey is a testament to his dedication and versatility. From early prodigy to seasoned performer, he brings a unique authenticity to his work, weaving emotion and meaning into every note. As he steps into the spotlight as an independent artist, Ben invites you to join him on this sonic exploration.
