Being surrounded by amazing musicians for years, Ben Ruppel was inspired to learn guitar in his 20's. Having spent many solitary nights working thru the basics like; Heart of Gold, Hey-hey, My-my and Rockin' In the Free World, Ben's mastery of the 6-string was progressing nicely! This new skillset led Ben to "sit in" with some members of the band: Kirk Devane & the Bionic Dirt, during their breaks.
