Ben Russell

Ben Russell, violinist, vocalist, and songwriter, has an unmistakable passion for music. A native of San Diego, Russell moved to New York City in 2006 to form the Bryant Park Quartet—a virtuosic string ensemble that Philip Setzer of the Emerson String Quartet describes as “one of the most talented and interesting young string quartets I have heard.” Russell is also a member of the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME), one of New York’s brightest new music indie-bands. Ben’s solo performance at The Loft will unfold his growing interest in his own songwriting and lush vocal style.
