Band Members
Ben Wilson - Guitar, Vocals. Ben is the creative drive behind the band. Over the past 10 years, Ben, with his father Ian, has penned numerous songs, the pick of which form most of the current material for TRIP. Ben's unique vocal sound and versatile guitar style, gives the band the freedom to work with a variety of styles and sounds with their music and not lock them into a particular genre.
