We'd like to welcome Ben Robinson to Skinny Velvet....the following is from www.benrobinsonmusic.com...
"Ben Robinson has been booked on such shows as The Late Show with David Letterman, Donny and Marie, Martin Short and he even pulled a stint with super drummer Tony Royster Jr. in the Nickelodeon super band produced by Paul Shafer. "
Of Ben's performance on the Letterman show Paul stated privately, and of course we are declassifying it, "Of all the guests that have ever sat in with the band, no one has ever done it like Ben". Commenting on a recent performance, Legendary guitarist Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame, had this to say about Ben, "I have seen a lot of smokin hot blues guitar players in my day, but I ain't never heard anyone like Ben".

Skinny Velvet is currently writing and recording their debut release, “Hassled and Hustled”, and are traveling the South Eastern U.S. playing any and everywhere. The group is looking for the future to bring bigger opportunities through hard work and persistence. 2012 promises to be a break-out year for the group as they make steps toward larger stages!
