•• BEN MARS••
Ben Mars is an Iowa-born songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his genre-fluid sound and introspective lyricism. Drawing from folk roots and electronic textures, his music creates space for both solitude and connection. Mars’s work explores memory, movement, and the wide-open quiet of the Midwest. He was a founding member and bassist for The Lone Bellow (https://www.thelonebellow.com/ [https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.thelonebellow.com_&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=5i9b-iKa2wnP0-ak49szS0wzgrxt3Fybi-PPTVAJvEA&m=3j7F0KeUY8mTYdNzFB5o-AXdbwBwJicnO-g8R51_K-xkSa2J-aV8BjA9BqnS23b1&s=MjcJPoigYBI_ejQLxGGz01BBQrkdx591SAplurEf91o&e=]), has toured with Gavin DeGraw, and has worked as a studio bassist in New York City. He also works with Bow & Arrow Communications.
