Ben Daniels Band w/ Kylee Phillips – January 18, 2025 – CANCELLED

CANCELLED: The Ben Daniels Band w/ Kylee Phillips Show has been cancelled.

While in Arizona studying audio engineering, Ben Daniels decided to be a musician. A natural poet, he soon became a young songwriter schooled on Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson, J.J. Cale, and John Prine, among others.

Since 2006, Ben has written songs that speak directly to the things we all see, recognize, and think. Years later, his lyrics have the authenticity of an artist.

Together since 2008, the Ben Daniels Band cuts through with an Americana sound from the Michigan ground. From their opening song to the finale of their set, their musicianship, experience, and originality make no two shows alike. And with the bluegrass roots of Tommy Reifel (bass), Wesley Fritzemeier (drums/mandolin/fiddle), and George Merkel (guitar), Ben Daniels Band’s live show never fails to take over the venue.

Kylee Phillips​​ is a singer-songwriter and a proud Michigan native. With roots firmly planted in pop music and lyrics that are deeply personal and self-revelatory, she has crafted a sound that is simultaneously ear catching and cause for introspection. A songwriter first and foremost, for Phillips everything hinges on the catharsis and connection that occurs when someone shares their story, even (or especially) the ugly parts.

On her latest EP (Long Time Coming, October 2023) she has taken several years of personal struggle and growth and crafted a collection of songs that feel personal yet universal, with a flare for the dramatic. “These songs are about some of the most painful experiences of my life, but it feels really redemptive to have turned those into the cinematic pop record of my dreams.”
