The Hello Stranger

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

The Hello Stranger is a recording and performing artist who works in a variety of styles. In some moments he is a futurist-folk singer, writing stripped down songs and bare melodies. At other times he plays a bubbly character channeling energetic funk and soul rhythms. At even other times, he is an introspective computer producer writing intricate electronic prog-pop. The Stranger will happily play in whichever time zone.

Playing under the moniker "leisure," Ben Parinello has been described as a "one man band" with only an acoustic guitar and his voice. With a repertoire of nearly 40 original songs and 100 covers Ben strives to never play the same set twice. The dynamic range of his voice and the unpredictability of his sets always make for something special for the audience when he performs.
