Ben Poole is a British blues-rock guitarist, singer and songwriter. His musical style is original and can be described as an energetic blend of blues, rock and soul. Poole's musical ability has been praised by none other than guitar legends Jeff Beck and Gary Moore! By the age of nine, Poole was already passionate about playing the guitar and even learned to play Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile. He soon began performing regularly and was named a guitarist to watch in 2010 by Guitar World Magazine. The following year, he was nominated in three categories at the British Blues Award. In 2012, Ben Poole was chosen to represent the UK at the European Blues Challenge Berlin, where he finished third. That same year, he was voted “Best Newcomer of 2012” by Blues Matters magazine!  His first album, “Let's go upstairs!”, was self-produced in the same year. It was followed by several CDs including Live at the Royal Albert Hall (2014). Jeff Beck once said he loved the way Ben Poole plays. In 2021 he released another live album, Acoustic Duo Live, in acoustic format and in collaboration with Dutch bluesman Guy Smeets. A concert that will sweep you away.
