Ben Rudnick and Friends have been bringing families, music and fun together in their own unique style from their first release, Emily Songs, in 2000 to their recent A Frog Named Sam. Boasting a high level of adventurous musicianship, their enthusiastic recordings and live performances seamlessly range from light folk, bluegrass, calypso, rock and even Irish Jigs. “The words catchy and irrepressible just begin to describe the string-band music uncorked by a quintet of gifted instrumentalists” (Downbeat Magazine). With countless kudos to their credit, including five Parents’ Choice Awards, the band considers it’s main focus to be providing a common ground where all family members can, without compromise, enjoy a shared musical experience. This is best exemplified in their live shows. Performances big and small tend to be events; a slice of time where families relax and enjoy each other’s company. Drawing on the original songs and traditional material from their recordings, the band seamlessly integrates classic songs such as “Route 66,” “Oh Boy!,” “Jambalaya/Hey Good Looking," “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and Beatles’ tunes into their sets.
