“Ben and Willis are two of my favorite guys in the world! Their personal and musical chemistry makes it so easy to play with them. Whether we’re playing original music or standards I always feel comfortable knowing that they’re going to bring their best every time. I'm very honored to have them as bandmates and friends.”
