About Me

My photo
I am a professional musician that currently entertains at guest ranches and performs concerts for private engagements and at RV resorts. I enjoy playing solo instrumental guitar as well as playing and singing traditional western music. I usually throw in quite a bit of stuff from old 20s - 50s big band standards too. For the most part I perform solo but I also enjoy playing with jazz bands, country bands and polka bands. I started my career playing solo instrumental guitar (listening music) at Ladd's Covered Wagon in Fort Collins, CO when I was 18. I especially love performing at guest ranches because the venues are small enough that I get a chance to make friends with a lot of the guests and I look forward to seeing them again on their return visits to the ranches. The ranches also feed me well and they always treat me like royalty, just as they do their guests! I would love to hear from you and I hope to see you in person in the near future. I would be happy to become Face Book; friends with you. This link will take you to my page, https://www.facebook.com/ben.alexander.98096. Thanks!
