Introducing:
Ben Sherman Classical Guitar
With all of Ben's rock, jazz and teaching activities, many people aren't aware of his classical background. With ten years of study and a degree from Towson State University in classical guitar performance, Ben has maintained a commitment to classical music throughout his career. This has allowed him many exciting and varied performing opportunities, including a long running weekly engagement at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. D.C. in 2004. Over the last 20 years, Ben Sherman has played classical guitar at hundreds of weddings, receptions, corporate and special events in Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick, Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia and Pennsylvania.
