Ah... I was here this night, and just as much as I danced then, I just danced in my kitchen! XD

[Carnivore898]

What the hell is he playing?

[thestraniero]

It's called a Lowebow...

[archclare]

met the man himself at the cigar box guitar festival at west bromwich last saturday

told him straight how impressed I was by the video I had seen. he shook my hand

and was a very down to earth guy , and when he played his set he was sheer magic, way to go Ben, you`r the man, thanks for a great finish to the show. Best wishes to you and the missus. archie clare

[Tribe2413]

Saw Ben two nights in a row in Denver and Boulder, CO.... Absolutely incredible, your hard pressed to see a better live perfomance

[Tribe2413]

@Tribe2413 well unless your just not a fan of quality music

[g047236]

I just saw Ben perform at the Daytona Beach Blues Festival on Friday. As a drummer and guitar player myself (but not at the same time), he rocked my world! Ben Prestage is my new musical idol! I'd stand in line to have a professionally-produced DVD of him in concert. Freakin' awesome!

[Tobin41]

Tobey 41 Had the privelege of playing harmonica with Ben a couple of times. If you ever get a chance to see/hear Ben, do it. Videos don't always  do him justice.

[goodwave67]

5 stars!!!!!

[starrchild99]

Simply Awesome!

[deitystrike]

Man, is this guy good. That was a great sound.

[Stringyheads]

Ben

With all the music you play your self why let the studios bip the hands in ya pocket and stuff your music up by making the recordings clean.

You are a great live performer.

Record a CD live and a DVD live do it yourself.

One more thing come to Australia. Im spreding the word.

[colormemonkey]

I heard this guy play in studio with the monsters in the morning, AMAZING!

[coryepps]

what's the name of this song??

does anybody know??

[charliebravogolf]

it's called 2:19

[LLJJEEYY]

The guitar is a Lowebow. Made by Johnny Lowebow himself. Amazing instrument. Nothing else quite like it.

[waddy7931]

look again it is a cigar box

[Boccongelle2]

Amazin. Better than the Cigar Box

[BLUEGENE13]

ty very much

[blues2paintby]

ROCK ON BEN !!!!!!!!! and BLUEGENE thats a Lowebowe guitar. It more than likely has 1 bass string on top and two guitar strings on the bottom.

[titto3d]

GENIUS!!!

[Demolitionhick]

Nice guitar, im impressed.

[xub3rxg3rm4nx]

this guys fucking amazing i was talking to him earlyer.

[BLUEGENE13]

it says in the description that cigar box has 2 strings they're wrong its got 2 unwound and 1 wound you can tell when hes tuning and the chord he plays with the slide (if you have a trained ear)

[charliebravogolf]

well, i've seen Ben play before and i can not guarantee how his Lowebow is made...but most of them have 3 guitar strings and 1 bass string

[PhatElvis7]

Wow...a hillbilly from Outer Space. Rock on Dude!!!

[berkdrummer]

saw this guy in orlando...

perfectly complete.

[ikadika021]

ALELUJA!!!!

[Igotdablues]

Now why don't we ever see great people like Ben Prestage on TV or is he just too good for it?

[petercrowley41]

Ben posts his itinerary on his MySpace page. He's recently taken up the harmonica and he's definitely ready for prime time!

[NitroRat]

Just caught Ben at the Beach Shack in Cocoa Beach. Amazing talent. I couldn't help but think... what in the hell is this guy doing playin' a small venue (dive) like this? He should be in front of thousands. Ben definitely has more than one brain in his head - talk about multitasking. Funky doesn't begin to describe him. Hopefully the rest of the world will discover his infectious groove.

[THEmindsPERCEPTION]

i need to meet this dude were's does he get together any specific town ect. i am a guitarist myself and i've never herd anything like this ben is really ahead of his time. i've been working on stuff that no one has done yet than i see this and it just blows away my already blown mind thank you for givin me the experience to listen to this incredible artist

[claykarla]

funky son a gun!

[MemberofBeatlism]

God, I love this song.. Awesome night!
