Ben Guihan describes himself as a visual songwriter, surreal images and characters populate verses that dissolve into one another while remaining rooted musically to Bens folk style guitar playing.   

Ben grew up in northern Vermont, spent some time in Boston busking In and around Harvard Square, and eventually made his way down to Providence Rhode Island.  With Providence as a home base, Ben and his partner Andrea spent several winters traveling the country in a custom built wooden camper on their ’94 ford ranger. During this time Ben also made a home recorded album with good friend and musician Tom Keohane, which was released to coincide with his 2018 tour of coffee houses, saloons and back road theaters across the south, west, and coastal California.  After getting married in late 2018, Ben and his wife found themselves arriving through serendipitous circumstances in the high desert of Taos, New Mexico, which they now call home.  

Bens first studio produced album is titled Mise-en-scène and was recorded in Connecticut at Dirt Floor Recording and production in February of 2020. The record was recorded in just four days but within weeks of finishing the sessions all plans for the coming year were put on hold as the pandemic rolled across the country. As of now there have been three singles released and Mise-en-scène is scheduled for limited vinyl release December 10th 2021.
