The Adventures of Fat Boy and Jive Turkey

The Further Adventures of FatBoy and JiveTurkey is the brain child of Benjamin Hall, a Central Michigan-based musician, thats voice is said to be the illegitimate lovechild of Jeff Buckley & Nina Simone. Ben comes to the stage readily equipped with a high-voltage stage presence, a searingly vigilant voice and a harmonica hell-bent on inflicting pain on your soul. The group is rounded-out with a dynamic and eclectic group of local and regional musicians, that are sure to provide music lovers with a fresh interpretation of the roots of blues, country, and jazz paired perfectly with exciting original tunes.
