"Key shattering Boogie Woogie" is how the Guardian newspaper described Ben Waters after a concert at Ronnie Scott's—known for energetic performances and powerful renditions of early boogie-woogie and Rock n' Roll. Waters always plays music that he loves, the music of his heroes Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Amos Milburn, Little Richard, Ian Stewart and a host of other piano players. This is the music that makes him happy! This is why he dropped out of school to go on tour with Shakin Stevens. This is why he has devoted 35 years to touring the world, a devotion that's not about fame, money or popularity, just about a love of music!Funnily enough, this nonchalance to fame and focusing on the music he loves has led Waters to work with some of the biggest names in the world.
Jools Holland, Shakin Stevens, Cher, The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Imelda May, Mick Hucknall, Johnny Depp and many more.
