Ben Manning
Ben Manning plays the guitar and occasionally picks up the mandolin; he brings some fine lead vocals to the band's repertoire. Born in Bangor, Wales, Ben grew up near Liverpool, England (and yes, he did actually meet The Beatles). He has been playing Bluegrass music since 1966 with many bands, in both England and the USA. In Minnesota he has performed with Woodrush, Wheatstraw Suite, Bluegrass Inc., and most recently with Dick Kimmel & Co.
