notes
Group founder and principal songwriter Ben Macy, 28, first started
playing piano at age 5 under the unwavering glare of his mother. Since
then, he has come to enjoy his instrument and has performed in many
rock, folk, and jazz ensembles throughout both high school and college
on piano, accordion, and organ. After graduating from George Fox
University in 2001 with a degree in Chemistry, he moved into Portland to
continue pursuing his musical career. Ben played music in the Portland
area for over 3 years while studying with jazz great Darrell Grant
before he decided to move to Washington and "get a real job".
After 2 years away from Portland and its flourishing jazz scene, Ben
returned with a new album and a renewed interest in playing all types of
music. Since moving back to Portland, Ben has played with The Bureau of
Standards Big Band, Tim DuRoche, Stephen Blackman, and Wayne Miller,
among others. Ben currently plays with a diverse group of bands
including the Swing Sisters, Leigh Marble, Deanna and the Downbeats, and
Listen Like Thieves, all the while continuing to pursue various rock and
jazz projects that he leads.
