The Ben Schmidt Band

Singer/ Songwriter Ben Schmidt, with the help of the Power Plant Rhythm Section; Matt Bernemann (drums), and Rich Wagor (bass); and featuring Sean Seaton on keys, this quartet celebrates everything from blues, funky soul, to outlaw country, folk and rock and roll.

Digging in with a mix of original tunes and old favorites, the band likes to “keep it greasy”, to stretch out and reimagine arrangements on the fly. The veteran core of the BSB is linked to many of the regions’ finest players, and guest appearances and cross-combinations are frequent - adding to the easy going, playful dynamic of the live experience.‍

Refreshments will be available brought to you by Bent River Brewery of Moline!
