Roots Music Stomp – Ben Wetherbee

Join us for the September edition of Roots Music Stomp – hosted by Craig Edwards and this month featuring fiddler, singer/songwriter Ben Wetherbee.

Ben Wetherbee, an extraordinary young musician from Boston who grew up with parents who played roots music, plays multiple instruments and styles, and is a driving force in the Boston area roots music community. Ben is a fiddler, singer/songwriter, and guitarist whose music fits in somewhere between traditional Appalachian music, country, rock’n’roll, punk, and experimental/freely improvised music.

Roots Music Stomp is a monthly series of performances hosted by Craig Edwards, who has been called “A walking encyclopedia of American Roots Music.” Craig sings and plays Appalachian Old Time, Blues, Bluegrass, Cajun, Celtic, Chanteys, Folk, Roots Rock, Swing, Zydeco, and more on fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin, and button accordion. Each month guest musicians who are experts in one or more of these musical traditions will collaborate with Craig as we explore the rich tapestry of traditional social music that underpins America’s vibrant musical culture.
