About

Elegant Instrumental Rock
A Classical Quartet + An Innovative Bass Guitarist and Songwriter

Composer and bassist Ben Short musically grew up in school orchestras. His songs are rich with classical production, but with an energy and flare influenced by bass guitar greats of the modern era.
And accompanied with exceptional talent on violin, cello, brass, and piano, the result is a unique and spellbinding small symphony!

Influences and inspiration

In Lightning sounds like...
Imagine Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Explosions in the Sky.

The rock-orchestra SOUND like Trans-Siberian Orchestra, plus a Fun-Rock ENERGY like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, performing compelling instrumental roller coasters a la Explosions in the Sky.
