Ben Rice may be quiet and unassuming—until he picks up a guitar. Dubbed the “blues ninja,” his fearless, inventive, and powerful guitar style, soulful vocals, and heartfelt songwriting have taken him from the Northwest scene to national and international stages. His influences range from Al Green to Stevie Ray Vaughan, blending blues, soul, R&B, folk, and country into a welcoming front porch sound. Whether sliding on a resonator or delivering electric leads, his intensity and emotional depth captivate audiences. In 2023, Ben expanded his sound with horns, vocal harmonies, piano, and organ, creating Ben Rice & The PDX Hustle—a high-energy experience that brings crowds to their feet. With an ever-growing career, Ben Rice is just getting started.
