From Maucker Road to Your Refrigerator: Ben Cook-Feltz

Ben Cook-Feltz

Ben Cook-Feltz is an Iowan boy who got lost and wondered north to the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Ben has found a stable and fertile place to grow and make music in the Twin Cities, enough so that he does that at the same time he's parenting a 4-year old. Particularly insightful is the description that Iowa Public Radio had for Ben when they described him as “Paul Simon singing songs about broken hearts and pants” - wow, does that capture both Ben's artistry and his amazing and quirky creativity. His spouse is the amazing Ellen Stanley, AKA Mother Banjo.

Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Unitarian-Universalist, Centers for Spiritual Living
