Ben Brill Music Lessons and Entertainment
Ben Brill is a musician, performer, puppeteer, and music producer who cares a lot about kids. His life is centered around finding ways to make music and education as fun and beneficial for kids as possible. In addition to teaching kids to play music, Ben creates positive music and video content for children and organizes interactive musical experiences for family audiences.
Current projects include:
The Singing Vegetable Show, an Asheville-based puppet show designed to get kids excited about healthy eating and nutrition. This show has been booked for community events, fundraisers, after-shool programs and farmer’s markets. The show began as a collaboration between Ben, his friend Javier, and Javier’s 3 year old daughter. This project also includes a series of very silly but cool music videos about vegetables. The video, “I Love Books!” has been featured in the 2016 Asheville Music Video Awards.
Dolphin Bum Bum is an Asheville-based kid’s music duo comprised of songwriters Ben Brill and Asher Leigh. Their live and recorded music has been written for (and with) Asheville kids between the ages of 2 and 7 years old. They have performed at community events, local festivals, preschools, and cozy house shows. Every show is designed to get kids laughing, jumping, making friends, and developing a positive relationship with music.
