The Ben Cote Band - Originals & Rock Covers With Local Legend Guitarists

The Ben Cote Band brings an electrifying night of rock to the Candlelite Outdoor Pavilion.

Led by acclaimed guitarist and recording artist Ben Cote, the band has built a dedicated following through both touring and social media, performing alongside rock legends including Bret Michaels (Poison), George Lynch (Dokken), and Mark Slaughter (Slaughter).

Formed while Ben was a student at Berklee College of Music, the band now features New England music legend Dave Mansfield on bass and Berklee alum Jake Wakstein on drums, creating a powerhouse lineup of seasoned musicians.

With six original albums — including their latest release “Love At First Bite” (2025) — the band delivers a dynamic show blending hard-driving originals, soaring guitar work, and classic rock energy.

Join us at the Candlelite Pavilion for a night of live rock, incredible musicianship, and the kind of outdoor concert vibe that makes summer nights unforgettable. 🎸🔥
