Details:
Ben Patton was born in Burlington, Vermont on October twenty-second 1982. He was raised by two musicians, Debbie, and Will Patton, who brought him up with the music of the Beatles, Motown, jazz, and early American movie musicals.

At eleven Ben wrote his first songs, and they were recorded by his father. A year later he'd joined his first band "The Beef People", who became a cult favorite for their loopy avant-punk music. At fifteen Ben dropped out of high school, along with his friend, keyboardist Matt Peck, and joined a band called "Johnny Wow", which played local teen dances. At around this time he recorded his first CD of originals, overdubbing himself playing most of the instruments. In the next four years he would record five more home-made albums.

For years, Ben sang often with the acclaimed youth chorus Village Harmony touring America and Italy. Also, with Matt Peck he formed the duo "the Most", which developed a strong local following by playing intimate New England venues.

When he was nineteen Ben moved to the Boston area. He spent four long days attending Berklee College of music in Boston, and then withdrew to concentrate on his songwriting. Since then he has kept busy with many projects.
His first album "Here's the Good News Album" is his first official independent release.
Also, he recently founded a London, England based rock duo, "Muller and Patton", who's debut album is now available on cdbaby.

Ben Patton and Matthew Peck currently live just outside Boston in "the Most Suite".
