Ben Sidran
Ben Sidran played Detroit for the first time at Cliff Bell’s on Wednesday, August 23, 2017, at 8 p.m. His new album PICTURE HIM HAPPY offers jazz and blues music reflecting on life's struggles and how we respond to them.
Ben Sidran joined by Leo Sidran on drums, Billy Peterson on bass, and Bob Rockwell on saxophone delivered a special show at Cliff Bell’s. The PICTURE HIM HAPPY album is inspired by the myth of Sisyphus and the idea of choosing happiness despite challenges. The set included songs featuring the wisdom of Mose Allison and Ben’s own originals, touching on social and personal themes with a dose of humor. It was a one-night event where music helped explore hope amid difficulties.
