Benjamin Lee Beard

Locust Grove, Oklahoma native Benjamin Lee Beard has been playing the guitar since he was eleven years old. A composer, and musician, he studied Music at Crossroads College in Rochester, Minnesota. A gifted musician with a great attitude, he has a passion for lead electric guitar in the modern and alternative rock genres, but has the versatility to adapt to any style of music and a keen ear to quickly perform pieces he has not previously heard. Beard has a unique ability to go beyond the technical intricacies of properly playing a song to bring it alive with vibrant feeling and emotion. He is able to listen to what a composer would like from a song and translate that into a finished sound that brings to the audience exactly what the writer had envisioned. He is currently available for sessions and live shows in the Minneapolis area, and attends Minneapolis Media Institute where he is studying Music Production & Audio Engineering, and looks forward to having a successful career in the music industry.
