Ben Vee started out spinning songs on terrestrial radio and at nightclubs back in the 1970’s in his home state of Louisiana. After a career in the construction business, he returned to DJing in 2011. He now hosts two shows each week on http://www.bluesmusicfan.com and writes about the blues at http://www.benveeblues.com from his home in Connecticut.
The term “roadhouse blues” refers to modern contemporary blues that are primarily upbeat in nature and incorporate the influence of rock, roots music, soul, and R&B. I have a 24 hour a day stream, WRHB, where I feature the types of blues that I love to hear and spin!

You can check it out on my website: http://www.missionofsoul.com Hit the Listen and Purchase link to check out all of our releases! Much love for your kindness!!! Cee Cee James

Ben is my all-time favorite DJ. I listen to his stream and try to catch him as often as I can on Second Life. Great Tunes!
