"Like Mickey Mouse in Fantasia, conducting and manipulating his *Digital
Pigeons* to make more sounds than one man is usually capable...Ben Krieger
and His Digital Pigeons is a one-man rock-opera just beginning to
materialize." - Dan Dippolito, Jezebel Music

I often claim to be a Brooklyn songwriter. Anyone who meets me, however, can tell immediately that I probably grew up in Cleveland. There was a short-lived campaign in the mid-80s when everyone in Northeast Ohio had a bumper sticker that said, “New York May Be the Big Apple, But Cleveland’s a Plum!” I have been a plum among the apples for 10 years.
I recorded a rock operetta about Stingra the Bionic Jellyfish that can be found on Queen of the Ocean, Commander of the Sea. You can stream Stingra in its entirety on the opening page of my website. There are other songs you can stream there, including a rock operetta called “Cable Beach.”
My new record, Class Dismissed, will be out later this fall.
"There is a fine line between genius and madness and you can argue that
Ben Krieger straddles it with the aplomb of an Olympic gymnast." - Jim

It's not easy to find a place where the musicians are
talented, breathtaking stage performers as well as welcoming, discerning
audience members. Plus, any scene that welcomes both Jaymay and M. Lamar
to their stage is one where I can feel at home.
