What makes Ben Harrison’s writing so enjoyable is that, at his core, he is a barroom guitar player/singer/entertainer who somehow manages to blend history, musical theater, Key West, country, ragtime and humor into unusual stories that are mostly true.
Ben has been a guest on The Howard Stern Show, This American Life, Dr. Demento, Dick Cavitt’s radio show and more. Winner of the Adeline Turner Award for Outstanding Performing Artist, he has recorded ten studio albums and four full-length theatre musicals, including "Undying Love", the true story of a faux doctor who unearths Elena (a former patient) from the Key West Cemetery, and keeps her in his home for seven years. Film rights for the story have been optioned by Danny Elfman. Ben’s other books are: "Official Visit" (all about baseball), "Charlie Jones" (set in south Texas) and "The Rooster Who Loved the Violin" (a children’s book).
Ben’s memoir, "Sailing Down the Mountain", is about building the 38-foot sailboat in Costa Rica that eventually led him and his wife, Helen, to Key West, Florida. Key West is their home now where he and Helen (a renowned sculptor) own Harrison Gallery.
Most recently, Ben's musical "El Isleño 1921, The Untold Key West Story", was produced by The Fringe Theater. Sold out weeks before opening, it tells another true Key West story--a dark episode that took place on Christmas Day in 1921.
