Cale, Jimi Hendrix, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Come out, have a good time!
And for all our sakes and sanity bring friends and dance!

Music is this way
and that way
and more.

It's always made new
though it's been played before.

And so what you will hear
when you come to the show

May be different for you,
your friends
(or your foes.)

That it's okay to be different-
that's all we can know.

This is always the way
a Rounders Revival
will go.

One of the reasons people love music so much is because it evokes the feelings of things that are very difficult to put into words.  It can bring back memories from times long gone and remind you to enjoy the moment you're in with the people you're with.  Ben Carroll is a songwriter who loves writing songs that can make people feel this way.  With every word sung and every chord strummed there is purpose, and that purpose is to try to make you feel the unexplainable.  Along with his originals Ben also plays songs by classic artists such as Neil Young, J.J. Cale, Jimi Hendrix, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
