Ben Kyle – Twin Cities Acoustic Storyteller
Memorials | Weddings | House Concerts | Private Parties

Hi, I’m Ben Kyle, a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter and guitarist whose original music has been featured on ABC’s Nashville and in American Songwriter magazine. With over 20 years of live performance experience—from First Avenue to the Fitzgerald theater, to intimate lakefront cabins—and alongside such artists as Ringo Starr, Sara Watkins and Ryan Adams—I specialize in delivering heartfelt acoustic performances that resonate emotionally and spiritually in life's most meaningful moments. Music that heals, inspires, celebrates, and connects.

Memorial Services
I bring quiet strength to funerals and celebrations of life with gentle, heartfelt renditions of “Amazing Grace,” “Hallelujah,” or a custom arrangement of your loved one’s favorite song. Families tell me my calm presence and clear communication make planning one less worry during grief. I adapt seamlessly—church sanctuaries, outdoor gravesides, or family gatherings.

Weddings
I specialize in delivering heartfelt acoustic performances that resonate emotionally and spiritually with couples and guests.
My repertoire spans romantic classics (e.g., “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” "Make You Feel My Love,” “Here Comes the Sun” etc.) to custom original songs tailored to a couple’s love story, ensuring a unique and emotional touch. I craft ceremony and cocktail-hour sets that feel personal and timeless. Some of my more notable events include the Mayor of Minneapolis' Wedding Ceremony and Ringo Starr's (yes, The Beatles!) Birthday Party.

House Concerts & Private Parties
Turn your living room, backyard, or corporate event into a concert hall. I’ve hosted sold-out house concerts across the Midwest and love creating that “front-row” vibe in any space.
My style blends folk, soul, and acoustic pop with a warm, storytelling delivery—perfect for intimate gatherings. I bring pro gear (PA, mics, lights) and a flexible spirit.
Past clients include wedding couples at Aria, memorial families at Lakewood Memorial Chapel, and house concert hosts all over the Twin Cities and the US. Whether it’s tears of comfort or tears of joy, I’m here to make your moment beautiful and timeless.

Message me for any info or questions— I'd love to create the soundtrack to your story.
