专辑简介

San Francisco Bay Area musician and singer-songwriter Ben Bernstein’s life-long musical journey continues on its dynamic course with his latest effort and his first solo CD “Petting Zoo.” This critically lauded release reflects Ben’s knowledge of multiple genres and production skills, while putting a new voice on the long-time sideman’s creative expression.

Ben drew on his vast experience to create his first solo effort, “Petting Zoo” (2006) co-produced by his Stolen Bibles band mate Dave Tweedie. Featuring 11 of Ben’s originals, the release highlights his diverse talents as a songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Recorded partially in his apartment and at Chocolate O’Brien studios in Oakland, CA, “Petting Zoo” includes light and catchy acoustic pop songs, psychedelia and Dylan-esque stylings.
