Ben Freeman – Guitar

As befits a well-trained, melismatically gifted guitarist as Ben Freeman, even his dog names reflect his skills and gifts (Fender, and Lilly). While Lilly might denote a horticulturist’s green thumb, Ben is actually drawn to playing golf on the greens, though he swears he’s no Nicklaus. I say, guilty until proven innocent on that one.

Ben is married to Lindsay, and they in the midst of adopting a baby from Uganda! Ben and Lindsay live in OKC, where they entertain musical adventures in his home studio, The Villa. It doubles yet again as a smithery for his divinations into custom guitar pedal building, such as his masterpiece Fisherman’s Friend throat drops box expression pedal. It is exactly as cool as it sounds. Perhaps cooler.

Ben leads worship at New Covenant United Methodist, when not on the road bringing all kinds of creative and mind-melding noise to the people of planet Earth.
