Everybody's Talkin' (about Ben Rose)

Hello Music Lovers

Tune into California 103
this Sunday night (September 30) between
6 and 8 pm
and hear Ben Rose LIVE

Ben will be in the studio performing live and chatting with host Kathy Shane, so cuddle up and listen to some hot new tunes to warm the chilly night. Listen to the debut of Ben's brand new recording, a cover of Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin."

Sunset Theatre / ArtsWells Festival in BC

Ben played a successful one night only show at the Sunset Theatre in Wells, BC on August 1, 2007.































Ben also played shows during the ArtsWells Festival, including this protest song workshop with other performers Joey Only, and Mamaguroove.

Ben's Interior Tour

No, it's not a self-reflective exercise or a medical investigation; Ben goes deep into the heart of BC's Interior as he takes his tour to Sunset Theatre and to the Arts Wells Festival in Wells, BC this August.

Check out the Arts Wells Festival's MySpace Site HERE.

Happy Stampede

During July Ben will be performing at private parties around the city, however, if you're lucky you can catch Ben sometime downtown on Stephen Avenue Mall when his unique brand of street concerts traditionally please patios and out of towners alike.

Catch him while you can!

Show Me the Love

Hey Music Lovers,
I've got 3 things.

First,
A big "Thank You" to everyone who has helped make my Wednesday night jam at Denim (950 QueenslandDrive SE) a hit. It now features live recording and a booking agent from Jake Carvin Entertainment in attendance on the first and second Wednesday of the month.

Secondly, Ben Rose and the Money will be rocking a joint called Grand Central in Okatoks this Saturday night (The 5th of May). Strangely enough the place really digs original music and you can still smoke but it's well ventilated.
To get there take highway 2a to Okatoks and turn left on Elizabeth.

And coolest of all Thirdly,
On May 10th The Ship and Anchor Songwriting Contest has the chance to immortalize me forever as Calgary's third best songwriter. For those I haven't told already, the last two years I have won Second Runner Up(third), 250$ and two Thursday night passes to the Festival. While it would
be tempting to chase the first prize of a lot more money and a chance to play a side stage at noon, I have made up my mind that I want third. I want the record to show that for three consecutive years in the mid-oughties there was only one man in Calgary trully worthy of the title,

Third Best Songwriter in Calgary

and it was Ben Rose.

The rules clearly state that they are not judging your performance or how
much you work the crowd but rather the song itself. Having observed the
contest for its first three years it seems to me that more often then not
the winner is the act that puts on the best show and has the best crowd
support. So get your asses down and shamelessly out cheer my rivals cheering
teams or you could always defect and cheer for Heather Blush. It all starts
at 7:00 pm Thursday night May 10th at the Ship and Anchor. My birthday is the day before and all I want is for somebody to meet me at the Ship at 5 for good seats.
