The Ben Phelps Project is a five-piece band from Virginia that focuses on creating a style all their own merging elements of jazz, acoustic folk, blues, and rock into a melting pot of southern soul featuring soaring saxophone and guitar solos. The BPP has played shows throughout the East Coast since its inception in 2004 highlighted by performances with B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Colbie Callait, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Michelle Branch, Cracker, Carbon Leaf, Pat McGee, Taylor Hicks, The Romantics, Good Old War, Chicago, The Dharma Initiative, and Cowboy Mouth.

Collectively the band has released four albums, Vision and Sound (2006), New Ghost Town (2010) which received airplay on college radio across the county, charting #1 in several locations and was also licensed to The Discovery Channel, MTV2, and VH1 for use in over ten television series. Goodbye Summer (2017), the third album release, garnered critical acclaim and radio success regionally charting several top 10s on the OurStage Music charts. The latest release Wake Up The Guards (2019) won Album of the Year the VEER Music awards and is streaming on all digital platforms and the band is working hard to promote the record. The latest single/video "Where Were You When?" has been viewed over 20K on social media platforms and recently won Social Justice Song of the Year at the 2020 VEER Music Awards.  The BPP released its latest single Three Piece Suit in May of 2023.  Ben released his fourth solo effort, Points West (2023,) in fall of '24 following up Songwriter V.1 (2022.)
