In his 60-year career, Ben Sidran’s love of music has led him to be a pianist, a singer-songwriter, an author, a record producer and a music journalist among other things. He has been his own short-order cook, juggling his own career and his projects. He has produced Steve Miller, Mose Allison, Diana Ross, Boz Scaggs, Phil Upchurch, Tony Williams, Jon Hendricks, Richie Cole and Van Morrison. His most recent solo album, Rainmaker, was recorded in France and features a collection of original songs that channel the complex world of today through his “hipster” filter and demonstrating why he is indeed the “first ever existential jazz rapper”.
Throughout it all, he has Madison his home, and over the years has held various residencies, the most recent of which was called “THE SALON FOR SECULAR HUMANISTS, ARCH DEMOCRATS AND FREE THINKERS.” To celebrate the opening of Atwood Music Hall he is reuniting the Salon Band (Louka Patenaude, Devin Drobka and John Christensen).
