the music of ben parinello
After six and a half years of living and performing in Boston, Ben Parinello now resides back in his home state of New Jersey. He continuously writes, gigs and is humbled if you're currently reading this. Now a solo artist, Ben has played under the moniker leisure since his band of the same name disbanded in 2016. His repertoire consists of over 40 original songs in addition to over 100 covers he can pull out at any moment. You may appreciate a song you know, relate to an original, and might notice, as he’s been told on numerous occasions, he has quite a voice. Ben strives to never play the same set twice. In March of 2021 Ben finally released his long delayed debut album Excess in Limbo. Come catch a show when you can now that live music is back!
Gigs!
