Ben Copperhead and The Stringed Serpents
36 Lime St, Newcastle, NE1 2PQ
Description
WNYC called him “the banjo visionary”, while the BBC called him “the banjo-wielding electronic experimentalist.”
Kramer of the Shimmy-Disc label said “Ben is the real thing. Like Elvis. Like Björk. Like Glenn Gould or Nina Simone, he’s a truly original talent, burning bright as the sun. There’s just no one else like him.”
Ben “Baby” Copperhead is a New York City-based composer, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist whose compositions, performances, and arrangements offer a unique, contemporary vision informed by an unlikely range of influences, traditions, and collaborations.
Rooted in folk music with an “otherworldly” banjo style, Copperhead uses modal and tonal explorations, while sometimes using samplers, processed drum machines, tape loops, and handmade electronic instruments inspired by the experimentalism of Musique Concrète.
