Ben Zeff Blues Band ft. Beau Brandon & Grant Gilliland at Woodlands Tavern

The Ben Zeff Blues Band is a high-octane power trio that reimagines the blues through a lens of heavy, groove-metal aesthetics. Led by virtuoso guitarist and vocalist Ben Zeff, the band bridges the gap between technical precision and raw, soulful grit. Zeffa Professor of Music Theory with a Doctorate in Jazz Performancecommands the stage with a style that is as academically sophisticated as it is viscerally charged. He is flanked by a powerhouse rhythm section: bassist Grant Gilliland (Denim Cobra, Fatal Contempt), whose relentless pocket provides the bands massive low-end, and drummer Beau Brandon (Withered), who brings the intricate technicality of extreme metal to a hard-rocking blues foundation. Together, the BZBB delivers a wall of sound that is disciplined, driving, and undeniably heavy.
