As we become societally over-stimulated, anyone with a cell phone and Internet can become a recording artist. The result? We’re being inundated with mediocrity. For even the least-discerning palates, it has become nearly impossible to single out the poet from the din of poorly written hooks and recycled synth beats. For musicphiles from the bored to the disconcerted, The Ben Daniels Band is a welcome gearshift.” –Real Detroit Weekly “Then, later in the evening, The Ben Daniels Band almost brought down the Gallery!…Transformed into an intimate concert venue, ‘The Ben Daniels Band’ thrilled the crowd with their blues-based music.” –The Chelsea Gallery “The Ben Daniels Band…featuring intricate and artful lyrics…reminiscent of Adam Duritz in early Counting Crows, but also eerily similar to Everlast’s best work.”–Wilde Boomerz “I was impressed by how seasoned the Ben Daniels Band sounded. Daniels has a voice perfectly suited for the blues.” –Roger LeLeivre “His son Ben joined him on stage for an original tune written by the younger of the two Daniels called, “Fake a Smile,” which was one of my favorite portions of the show. Watch out for this kid, he’s the real thing.”–Wolf Trap “This story is to be continued tonight at Goodnight Gracies. Come watch the marvelous Ben Daniels opening for Lester Blues. You do not want to miss this extraordinary new talent that’s a cross between a promise and a threat. I’d advise you to be there promptly at 10.”–Ecurrent.com
