Ben Prestage – DaVinci – Songwriters Showcases of America
Ben Prestage is ‘truly’ a one man band. He plays handcrafted cigar box guitars and slide guitars while playing the bass drum, harmonica, and the snare or the upright symbol. He played a special gig at White Spring for my friend’s birthday bash that she likes to call Soozfest, this being the second year running. And these images were from another gig he played in downtown DeLand, Florida at DaVinci, formally known as Cafe DaVinci in mid-november.
He can hold a crowd like no one I have ever seen play live before.
And he brings everyone aboard; from the yuppies to the country folk.
The night was a blast and everyone walked away in a happy drunken stupor.
Plus a musician friend of mine, Chelsea Lynn La Bate, won “2009 Song of the Year” for Galileo from the Songwriters Showcases of America!
