STRAITJACKETS ARE THE LEADING PRACTITIONERS OF THE LOST ART OF THE
GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL. Using the music of the Ventures, The Shadows, and
with Link Wray and Dick Dale as a jumping off point, the band has
taken their unique, high energy brand of original rock & roll around
the world. Clad in their trademark Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling
masks, the 'Jackets' have delivered their trademark guitar licks to 16
albums, thousands of concerts and dozens of films and TV shows. Viva

Ben VAUGHN GREW UP IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA ON THE NEW JERSEY SIDE OF
THE RIVER. At age 6, his uncle gave him a Duane Eddy record and
forever changed his life. In 1983, he formed the Ben VAUGHN COMBO. The
band was together five years, releasing two albums and touring the
U.S. several times. They received rave reviews in Rolling Stone and
People magazine and video airplay on MTV. The attention inspired
Marshall Crenshaw to record Ben's "I'm Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee)"
for his "Downtown" album. Ben embarked on a solo career in 1988,
recording several critically acclaimed albums, touring extensively in
Europe and the U.S. and receiving more MTV exposure. During that
period he produced three records for the Elektra Records American
Explorer series (Memphis rockabilly legend Charlie Feathers, Muscle
Shoals country soul singer Arthur Alexander) and recorded "Cubist
Blues," a collaboration with Alan Vega and Alex Chilton. He also
scored two films ("Favorite Mopar" and "Wild Girl's Go-Go Rama"), as
well as appearing as a frequent guest commentator on nationally
syndicated radio shows “Fresh Air” and "World Cafe." In 1995, Ben
moved to L.A. and released "Instrumental Stylings," an album of
instrumentals in a variety of styles. A guest appearance on KCRW's
"Morning Becomes Eclectic" led directly to being hired as the composer
for the hit TV sitcom "3rd Rock From The Sun." "That 70s Show" soon
followed, and for the next ten years Ben would provide award-winning
music for a dozen other TV shows and pilots ("Men Behaving Badly,"
"Normal, Ohio," "Grounded For Life"). He also provided scores for
several films ("Psycho Beach Party," "The Independent," "Scorpion
Spring") and continued producing records (Ween, Los STRAITJACKETS,
Mark Olson of the Jayhawks, Nancy Sinatra, and the "Swingers"
soundtrack CD). Somehow Ben found time to create the legendary
"Rambler '65." Recorded entirely in his car, this much-publicized
album (and subsequent short film) is still considered by many to be a
classic document of a man and his dream. Since then, Ben has released
“Designs In Music," “VAUGHN SINGS VAUGHN VOLS. 1-3,” “Texas
Road Trip” (recorded in Austin, Texas with Doug Sahm’s band) as
well as "Five By Five" and "Piece de Resistance" by the Ben VAUGHN
QUINTET. Add to that an Italian dance hit (a DJ re-mix of “Hey
Romeo”), airplay of “Jerry Lewis in France” on Bob Dylan’s
radio show (complete with Dylan’s recitation of Ben’s resume), and
two recent tours in France and you’re looking at what continues to
be a very interesting career. Occasionally, Ben takes a break from his
syndicated radio show (“The Many Moods of Ben VAUGHN”) to perform
live in the US and Europe. The dates are randomly planned so catch him
while you can! Venue Information: THE ARDMORE MUSIC HALL 23 East
