Bio

Dr. Ben is an Americana / folk-blues recording artist who performs songs of heartache, hope and healing, based on his 30 years of experience as a travelling doctor to almost 100 rural communities across Canada. His songs describe his experiences helping people with mental health challenges, addictions and chronic illness, using a mix of intricate fingerpicking guitar styles, soulful blues licks and poignant lyrics.

Dr. Ben enjoys performing his original music in the café and small club scene throughout Ontario and frequently entertains patients in nursing homes and hospital wards during his travels. He has just released his first singles, “Fibbin’ on Me” and “Come to My Rescue” in 2024 and will be releasing more singles and his full album in 2025. Dr Ben lives in Toronto and his side-gigs include university professor of healthcare management and global health advocate.
